Cops: Hogan Wreck Victim's Dad Got Violent in Hospital

Edward GrazianoThe father of the critically injured passenger in Nick Hogan's horrific car wreck, was arrested on Friday -- one day after he allegedly turned violent in the hospital's ICU ward.

St. Petersberg police were called to Bayfront Medical Center Thursday afternoon after Edward Graziano's wife told them that he got physical during an argument with other members of the family.

After Edward left the hospital, Debra Graziano, Edward's wife, renewed a domestic violence injunction against him, stemming from a June 21 arrest in which Edward was charged with domestic battery, battery on a law enforcement officer, and tampering with a witness.

Cops say Edward returned to the hospital on Friday afternoon, violating the new injunction, and was arrested a few hours later at the Vinoy Hotel in downtown St. Petersburg. He was taken to the Pinellas County Jail where he still remains behind bars..

17. #1 "She probably had it coming, whatever he did to her, if he did anything. "

WOW, what a scary attitude! The guy's got a history of domestic violence and it's HER FAULT????? I suppose you'd defend a rapist as well, saying it's the victim's fault, eh? Yes, the man's son is in critical condition in an ICU, but what does violence accomplish, other than getting your *ss thrown out for the safety of the medical staff and other visitors.

18. This dad should of been given some restraint due to his son's disposition. however bottom line Hulk Hogan My Gut says you would never condone this reckless behavior on behalf of your son. "HOWEVER BROTHERRR!, IT'S TIME TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND SEE WHERE YOU CAN POSSIBLY HELP THIS FAMILY OUT!".... if it were on the other foot i'm sure you could be empathetic and if nothing else you did the right thing brother..

19. I think the father blew his top
Probably he's asking questions and NO ONES answering.
He lives in NY.

Reports are he threw coffee at one of her family members
she renewed a domestic violence injunction from june

Funny the mother has time to be renewing injunctions BUT does NOTHING about NICK n HIS RECKLESS RACING that PUT her son in ICU.in the first place Wonder where her priorities are. Makes me wonder

I'd be screaming if that was my son and NICK was allowed to be walking around like nothings happened.

JOHN G FATHER should be asking those questions while he sitting in the pookie. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ARREST NICK and poss FATHER

21. i think that this kid thinks a a big shot driver and all he wants to do is be a big shot like his dad. he needs to get a few more years of driving under his belt before he drives at such high speeds.

22. Edward Graziano's favorite "love song"

Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh.

What can you do?
What can you do?
With a brat like that always on your back
What can you do? (lose?)

24. What the heck is wrong with you people? Talkin all this crap about Nick, you don't frickin know the kid so you shouldn't be saying nothing. Yall can say whatever you want about this but yall are dumb, are you even thinkin about how Nick feels about all this? It ain't like hes running around all happy and stuff, he almost killed a good friend. As for the mom shes wack, keeping the dad from seeing his son when his son needs him more than ever now. Hope this boy gets better and stop bein so dang mean and sayin crap about nick!!!!!

25. Last I heard he's still in a coma. It is believed that he may have brain damage, but nobody knows for sure. God I hope not. I hope this coma is God's way of protecting him until he is well enough to wake up. I pray for his recovery.

I want Nick locked up for many years. I hope that he never has a career in car racing. I really hope his parents are sued for everything they own.

26. Does ANYONE have an update on the condition of John and what is happening with Nick Hogan?

I have heard little to nothing about this on TV or other websites since the initial accident.

27. Nick is functionally retarded, he couldn't even finish high school in Florida.

28. Hey, what ever the reason, getting physical with your wife, or any other person, especia;lly in the icu, is damn wrong........his kid is critically wounded, does that give him any more rights then anyone else, especially with a history of violence, does that mean he has the right to kill some one because he is upset? HHELL NO

29. I work in a hospital, in a major trauma center, and violence in anyone's work place is totally unacceptable. I expect to give every patient the best care I can possibly can. If I feel my life is in jeopardy, by a violent family member how can I concentrate on my job to give the patient they so desperately need. Violence is too rampant in our world. People need to get a grip on what is truly important.
