Nick Bollea Soon to Be a Free Man
PacificCoastNews.com
Yes, I know we touched on this yesterday, but the story is so sickening it bears to be dished about again. Nick Bollea (aka Nick Hogan) has been granted an early release from his 8 month prison sentence and will be a ‘free man’ come October 21. He was sentenced for 8 months for drinking and driving and nearly killing one of his best friends. Two hours after the crash, Nick was found to have an extraordinary amount of alcohol STILL in his blood and thus down came the charges. He didn’t actually kill his passenger John Graziano, but the extent of John’s injuries are so severe that he will likely spend the rest of his life in a nursing home. Soooo….John gets a life sentence and Nick is out in five months. Nice. Nick is currently serving the fourth month of his eight month sentence at Tampa’s Pinellas County Jail, and it sounds like when it came to choosing prison accommodations, he lucked out. The particular prison where he is serving offers a credit system for good behaviour. If you behave, you get credits, and if you want, you use your credits for early release. And it sounds like that is what has happened, Nicky was a good boy and they are rewarding him for it. Mind you, his life is not going to be all that peachy keen when he gets out. He still has five years of probation to work through, and three of those years he won’t be able to drive. He will have to work 500 hours of community service, which if you count 40 hr work weeks, it’s approximately six months free labor for the county. He will not be able to drink for the duration of his probation, five years, and within one year he will have to attend DUI classes. Sooo….all we can hope for is that he will screw up his probation and end up back in the clink. And given that alcohol will be a no-no, there may be a good shot at that. We’ll see.
