Hulk Hogan‘s son, Nick Hogan, was arrested for DUI in Clearwater, FL.
Records show that Nick was detained just before 4 AM on Saturday. He was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence and allegedly refused to undergo sobriety testing.
The exact details leading to the arrest are unclear. The arrest is classified as a misdemeanor, and Nick was photographed for a mug shot during processing. As of now, he remains in custody.
While a DUI arrest is serious, it’s particularly noteworthy in Nick’s case due to his previous involvement in a car accident in the same area, Clearwater, FL, back in the 2000s.
The previous incident involved a car accident in which Nick’s friend, John Graziano, sustained a serious brain injury but survived.
Nick, who was 17 at the time, later pled no contest to reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. The authorities had suspected alcohol involvement leading up to the plea. Subsequently, he served an 8-month sentence.
Following the accident, the Graziano family sued the Hogans, leading to an out-of-court settlement.
Nick’s representatives were not available for comment, so Hulk’s management was approached for a response, but no reply has been received yet.
Nick’s Instagram account indicates that he attended a bikini contest at his father’s restaurant in the Clearwater area on the night in question. See here.
