Nick Bollea (Hogan) turned himself in this morning to the Clearwater, Florida police, and he was booked into the Pinellas County jail. Cops cited Hogan for "use of a motor vehicle in commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher, and having illegal window tint."

Hogan crashed his car into a tree while driving 60mph in a 40mph zone, and his passenger, John Graziano, received serious brain injuries that will likely require specialized care for the rest of his life.
