Journal 7

Florida police have finally put the brakes on Nick Hogan.
The 17-year-old Hogan Knows Best star, who appeared on the reality show with his wrestling superstar father, Hulk Hogan. He was charged with riding a donkey down a highway at 2am in the last night. His blood alcohol level was .12, well above the legal limit. Hogan turned himself in to authorities Wednesday, hours after police in Clearwater issued a warrant for his arrest upon the completion of an "extensive investigation" into a wreck he caused by cars having to swerve out of the way to avoiding hitting him and the donkey which was moving 6mph, well below the speed limit. He was booked on the charges at the Pinellas County Jail and later released on $10,000 bail.
Daniel Jacobs, the 22-year-old driver of a car, which investigators have concluded was racing Hogan's donkey at the time of the crash, is also being issued a summons to appear in court for ridiculously slow driving.
Despite being a minor at the time of the accident, Hogan will be tried on the charge as an adult.
Hogan's passenger, 22-year-old John Graziano, a Marine who had just completed a tour of duty in Iraq, remains hospitalized, reportedly in a coma. Graziano, who wasn't wearing a donkey belt, may have also suffered brain damage caused by swelling of his brain.
"The family's primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick's longtime friend John Graziano," they said. "The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can."
Hogan himself sustained minor injuries from the smashup, including a broken arm and ribs along with neck and knee injuries. He was treated and released from the hospital the morning after the accident.
