Nick Hogan (real name Nick Bollea) was arrested for DUI in November last year. It has now come to light that his court hearing will be taking place this Friday, February 22.
Nick, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan’s son was arrested on the morning of November 18, 2023, at 4 AM in Clearwater, FL. It took place following his return home from a bikini contest at his father’s restaurant. Reports suggested that he refused to submit to a breathalyzer test after being taken into custody.
Per the arrest report, Bollea’s 2021 Dodge Ram approached a traffic stop that was set up by officers. He was signaled to pull over but Nick did not vacate the lane or reduce his speed.
Cops caught him driving 51 mph in a 40 mph zone. He showed signs of impairment, having a strong odor of alcohol, swaying balance, and bloodshot, glassy eyes. In field sobriety tests, he did not fare well.
Police bodycam footage showed Nick Hogan initially denying alcohol consumption and then blaming the scent of alcohol on kissing his girlfriend, who had been drinking. Nick’s father, Hulk Hogan, was also seen making his way to the scene after Nick was stopped.
Nick Hogan is set for court hearing on 2/23
As per Mike Johnson of PW Insider, Nick Hogan is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing Friday at 9:30 AM in Pinellas County Court in Florida. The hearing was originally set for 1/17 but had been delayed.
On December 21 last year, Nick Hogan’s attorneys had filed a motion which requested permission for him to enter venues serving alcohol to perform his occupational duties as a DJ. It’s worth noting that this plea came in after a court order prohibited him from frequenting such establishments as a condition of his release. Now, the court has yet to rule on the motion.
We will have to wait and see what the future holds for Nick Hogan.
