Hulk Hogan’s son Nick Hogan served prison time for his reckless driving
Back in 2007, Nick Hogan was only 17 years old and he was driving with friend John Graziano by his side. However, the ride went horribly wrong as the car crashed and it caused some severe injuries to Graziano, who served in the marine previously. Graziano suffered a serious brain injury from the accident and went on to sue the Hogan family. But the case was ultimately settled outside the court and the settlement amount was not made public.
Speaking about the incident, Nick said, “John’s my brother, we practically lived together and I just remember finding out about how bad everything was. It’s still hard for me to think about it,” he said of his friend, who at the time of the interview still required around-the-clock care. “I pray every day that I will be able to deal with it. It’s still at this point it’s too much to think about. It’s something that I carry with me every day.” (h/t via PEOPLE)
But that was not the end of all the troubles for Nick at the time. He underwent a trial where he pleaded no contest to the charges of reckless driving. As a result, he was put behind bars for 8 months at the time. While many may be unaware, Hogan is a licensed Formula D driver and has appeared in some of the competitions.
