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..

32. I read that Hulk owns a Viper that matches the description and has been know to race his son. Anyone investigating if Hulk was the Viper driver? He got to the crash scene almost immediately.

33. #15 No shame....the cops probably know who was driving the silver viper and turned all the information over to the DA for prosecution .I am guess.he is waiting for John to pull through and then he can charge Nick...we are praying he gets well. If John passes away, Nick could be charged either second-degree manslaughter (4-10 years), or criminally negligent homicide (3 1/2 - 10 1/2 years) or wreckless endangerment (2-7 years)....sentencing guidelines varies between states.

34. they should keep dad in jail. He already had one injunction on him for DV and he's showing he can't do the right thing regardless of the situation. Nick will probably be praying a hefty price either way his friend goes and his parents will also be pay a hefty price in the event the young man dies not to mention the medical bills. These families need prayer right now not violence.

35. This is the last thing this poor kid needs. The family needs to pull together during such a tragic time. Nick's an ass! WHy hasn't he made any apology? Maybe, because he hasn't learned yet. Hulk you ned to beat his ass silly!

Has Nick been seen drivng around town after the crash?
He well proably get a body guard cuz so many peope want to beat his ass.

37. This goes out to Arrest Nick Hogan Stat... So you think that she probably had it coming,,,,
GOSH,, you think she deserved it.. Are you an idiot or what ???
Nick has had nothing but issues with the police and his racing.
Dont get me wrong... i feel for the families involved, however, if the Hogan's
had a little more responsible young man. Please know that where I come
from if a guy hit a woman, then 10 of his friends would go over and have
a 'nice' chat with him,, and kick his butt up and down the street.
Hopefully, he would learn from this lesson. have a good day.

However, I do agree with you
on GOD BLESS THIS POOR BOY..
Hope he recovers.

39. I feel so bad for this family. They are going through something terrible and unimaginable. I hope thier son can pull through but it sounds like there may be brain damage since his condition has not improved. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

40. Dad threw some cold coffee at a member of mom's family for not allowing him into the ICU. IT happened in the family waiting room. Dad got a nasty shinner from mommydearest family. mommydearest and her thug love family need to go get a coffee and donut and let DAD see his dying son. I hear he is not doing so good!

nick about killed the boy or has him brain dead and dad threw some cold coffee and has a no bond. Clearwater Police in the bollea/hogan pocket!

41. What the hell is wrong with you people? What happened to Nick and this boy was an accident! True, he was speeding, but how many of you haven't done the same damn thing when you were teenagers? I feel sorry for both families! Nick is certainly suffering within himself knowing that he is the reason his friend is in critical condition! As for the boys mother and father, you don't know their situation so how can you judge them? It sounds to me like the father has a problem with his temper, there seems to be an ongoing domestic violence issue here. I do agree that he should be allowed to see his son but not with the mother there. Have a heart people, put yourself in Nick's shoes and think about it!
