TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Nicholas Bollea, son of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, pleaded guilty to charges related to a November DUI arrest, according to court records. The records showed that on Friday, Bollea pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and a Move Over Act violation.
In November, authorities said Bollea was arrested after speeding past a traffic stop while not moving over. After pulling Bollea over, the officer who conducted the traffic stop said the Clearwater, Florida, resident had a strong scent of alcohol on his breath and bloodshot eyes. He also swayed and was unsteady but refused to do a breath test.
On Friday, Bollea was sentenced to a year of probation but can apply for early termination after six months, court records show. He has to attend DUI classes and perform 100 hours of community service as well.
The judge also suspended Bollea's license for 12 months, fined him over $1,000, and ordered that he be continuously screened for drug and alcohol for 120 days.
Bollea was previously at the center of a lawsuit for years over a 2007 crash that paralyzed his friend John Graziano. He also pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge in the 2007 incident.
Bollea's father, Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Eugene Bollea, is a retired pro wrestler and TV personality considered "the most recognized wrestling star worldwide and the most popular wrestler of the 1980s," according to IMDb.
