Hulk Hogan's son gets 8 months in jail for wreck

CLEARWATER, Florida (AP) -- A judge in Florida has said the 17-year-old son of pro wrestler Hulk Hogan should serve eight months in jail for reckless driving.

Nick Bollea was led off to begin his sentence immediately after Friday's ruling. He will be on five years' probation and lose his driving privileges for three years.

Authorities say Bollea was racing a friend in his father's sports car when he clipped a curb, spun out of control and slammed into a palm tree in downtown Clearwater, Florida, in August. Watch Hulk Hogan's son apologize in court »
