Nick Hogan, the not-as-famous son of wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan, has reportedly been arrested for DUI in Florida. Usually that’s not huge news because sadly, the children of celebrities do these sorts of things often. But it’s the fact it happened in the same city where 16 years ago the young Hogan got in a horrific crash, derailing his friend’s life forever.

According to numerous reports, Nick was pulled over and cited for driving under the influence in the early morning hours of November 18. Jail records indicate he refused a breath test and “performed poorly” on field sobriety tests. Since then he’s been released on a $500 bond and that’s about all we know of the incident.
However, the DUI stop took place in Clearwater, Florida which is the same city where back in 2007 Nick Hogan got into a tragic crash while behind the wheel of his MKIV Supra. The high-powered Japanese sports car launched off the road at high speed, hitting a tree during a street race against a friend.
John Graziano, an active US Marine at the time, was in the Supra’s passenger seat. Sadly, he was seriously injured in the wreck and now has severe brain damage. Graziano’s mother didn’t have kind words for Nick, whose real name is Nicholas Bollea, telling TMZ that the latest DUI incident shows the man has a “total lack of respect for what (he) did to another person’s life and you’re still driving reckless.”
She went on to explain that she genuinely hopes the younger Hogan cleans his act up before he hurts anyone else. We think she was pretty nice considering.
In the meantime, Nick Hogan has stayed silent about his arrest and DUI charge. It’s possible his legal counsel has told him to not say anything public until the legal matter has been resolved. However, it seemingly indicates the man’s troubled past might not be entirely behind him.
