Hulk Hogan's son crashes again ???

It's about time....

 

"Police also cited Bollea for use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, being younger than 21 years old and driving with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher, and having illegal window tint."

Wow, he was drinking too. Throw the book at the ******.

 

I find the illegal window hint humorous.

 

I thought so too.

I'd be willing to bet the windows were down at the time of the accident.

 

Nick will make plenty of new friends in jail.

Any decent sized department has accident reconstruction specialists. They can nail it down pretty good. And it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the car was going at a high rate of speed after just one look at the car.

 

They will nail it down pretty well, especially so they can get a solid case against Nick. Just look at Errikson's Enzo crash and how they figured he hit the pole at 169 MPH.

 

They had an interview with Nick's lawyer on the local news yesterday. He said Nick wasn't speeding and made several referances to the passenger not waering his seat belt. Wasn't speeding? Really? Look at the damage to the car. Didn't know those Supras never passed the gov't crash tests. Whata lot of crap.

 

The repeated seatbelt issue is one the attorney will continue to reference in an effort to try and protect his client's wallet [ultimately Nick's father, Terry] and criminal exposure, great bodily injury. If they try him as an adult does this limit financial exposure on behalf of the family?....they should be held partially responsible as well as they enabled this type of behavior.

 

From the Police report.........

WHEN: 11/07/2007
9:48 a.m. (arrest time)

WHERE: Nicholas Bollea turned himself in to Clearwater Police at 14450 46th
Street North. He is been transported by Clearwater Police to the Pinellas County
Jail where he is currently being booked.

HOW/WHY: The Clearwater Police Department has completed an extensive
investigation into the causes of an August 26, 2007 wreck involving Nicholas
Bollea and his passenger John Graziano III. The investigation, conducted by a
team of four (4) specially trained police investigators, working in conjunction with
the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney’s Office, involved the critical examination of
substantial physical evidence and the interviews of numerous witnesses. Based
on the evidence and witness testimony, investigators have concluded that Bollea
was operating his vehicle recklessly at the time of the crash and caused serious
bodily injury to Graziano.

This morning a warrant was issued for Bollea’s arrest per Florida Statute 316.192
(3)(c) 2 (Reckless Driving Involving Serious Bodily Injury). Bollea turned himself
in to Clearwater Police. He has been transported and is currently being booked
into the Pinellas County Jail. Reckless Driving Involving Serious Bodily Injury is
a third-degree felony. Bollea was also cited for:
-Use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony
-A person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-
alcohol level of .02 or higher;
-Illegal window tint

Investigators interviewed several witnesses who stated they saw Bollea (Driver
1) and Daniel Jacobs (Driver 2) racing, before Bollea lost control of the his
vehicle and crashed into a tree. The vehicle came to rest in the median of Court
Street, east of South Missouri Ave at 7:31 p.m. on August 26, 2007.
Investigators have determined Bollea was driving in excess of 60 miles per hour
close to or at the time of the crash. The posted speed limit in that area is 40
miles per hour. The road was also wet due to a recent rain shower.

Investigators have concluded that although Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2 were racing,
Jacobs (Driver 2) was not a direct cause in the crash. Jacobs is being issued a
summons to appear in court for Reckless Driving.

 

Good Question.... can the criminal trial be "as an adult" and the civil trial be "as a minor"?
There has to be a way? John is going to need care-for-life, and only Hulk has deep pockets

Nick puts himself and his family in the worst position if this is possable?



.

 

I've really been thinking about this. As much as I feel Nick should be thrown the book, and he should have made sure John wore his seatbelt, ultimately John as 22 year old man should have known the consequences of not wearing a seatbelt. Especially riding with Nick.

If Nick had truly been drinking that makes this even worse. But arent there foods and/or mouth cleansers that can be read by breathalizers which would give a false positive?

Also, what is the likely hood of Johns mom/dad sueing the state of Florida for failing to suspend Nicks license after so many speed related infractions? It seems odd and ridiculous that he still even had a license after that many tickets.

 

Nope. Nothing can fool a breathalyzer. If you do rinse with SCOPE or Listerine, you will blow such a high BAC that the cop would test you again. Mythbusters did a test on this not too long ago, and found that a breathalyzer is not able to be manipulated.

 

Thanks for the answer.

 

Regarding seat belt use by passengers. I believe, in Florida, it's the responsibility of the owner/driver to make sure passengers use the belts, anyone know if this is a law?

 

That's what the local News coverage has been saying.

Seatbelt issue is no defence in criminal trial...its drivers responsablilty.

But they are bringing it up now...because it is important later in the Civil Trial
where it can be used to Hulk Hogans advantage when he tries to protect his money $$$

No ones responded to my comment about how Florida may become liable for not revoking Nicks license before.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

How can "Florida" be liable? If they should have revoked it, then they will now, if they didn't have reason to, then they might now.

I don't see your issue.

 

From what I see, he's asking what would happen if the state of Florida "bent" the rules a bit to allow Nick to keep his license because of who his father is.

 

That's what I'm trying to say more or less.

I'm in no way saying Florida is/should be held liable. But I'm wondering how he was able to keep his license after 16+ speeding tickets? 3 within less than half an hour, and each speed faster than the prior. It just seems as though anyone else would have lost their driving privledges.

 

Paging Ryalex... legal question in the off topic forum....

I think the answer is Sovereign Immunity, but then again, I am no lawyer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Immunity

 

Phhfffttt. Two words if this should EVER come to light {which it won't},

"Never happened"

 

Such a sad story

But just a thought...now that both kids have used Dad's millions to try fantisy careers (MTV singer and Race Car Driver)

...maybe it might be a good time to change directions and think outside of easy street

..... might be a good time for both kids to go to college? Four years away from the hollywood lights and get a degree, something that might bring a little respect back into their family

Strongly agree. Brooke for some reason thinks she can sing. Scott Storch saw an opportunity to make some extra cash and bold face lie to Hulk. I say good for him. And Hulk should have been smart enough to read b/w the lies.

I believe Nicks still in high school, but yea, Hulk should tell him he either goes to college and graduate or expect no help in the future. I think Hulks far less strict than he appears.

Why are some of us so fascinated with this story? Is it because we all followed wrestling and Hulk's career years ago?

 

I guess we ARE fascinated here on the forum...probably just because it deals with cars, street racing, and stark-raving-mad second rate celebrity. Probably we have a very short fuse when it comes to really stupid street racing because our cars are high-profile and we have a lot to lose with every bit more bad publicity in this day & age.

You know what I wonder about? I just sort of wonder exactly how well-fixed Hogan really is? I had heard they were selling the Clearwater mansion before, and they must have gotten themselves into this reality TV show thing just for the money. And I doubt if they have any residual income from royalties or rerun TV like some stars do - WWE being what it is.

Makes you wonder if an expensive civil court case plus perhaps getting the show cancelled might just put them back to square one. Big price for a stupid mistake, if so.
