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..

61. The Dad who was arrested is an abuser. The Mom does not need this guy hanging around the hospital and causing more problems than they already have. He was arrested for a reason. He gave up his right to visit his son when he got violent earlier. The supporters the injured guy has in the hospital need to have peace during their support of him. They have enough stress already.
Nick is just a young kid. He did not realize the consequences of driving so fast. I bet that he didn't think he would ever lose control of his car. Unfortunatly, now he knows what happens when you do. I am sure this will haunt him for a very long time. He and his friend have my prayers. I hope that Nick learns a lesson from this and I am sure he has. This can not be easy for him or his family and I hope his friend will make a full recovery.
Prayers should go out to both families.

62. He has a son who survived Iraq as a marine, and is trying to survive now. The guy has a lot to be proud of. I hope he can get it together long enough to be supportive of his son, even if that means away from his hospital room.
It's pretty clear when he is around negative vibes arise, so sadly untill he can give up the booze or what ever makes him dysfunctional he should just stay away.

63. 1. If this man has a history of violence (it states she "renewed" the order of protection) and then shows up at the hospital and caused at least enough of a problem that the family felt threatened. Abusive people can be unpredictible - what if he became violent or abusive toward a nurse or doctor? That wouldn't help his critically injured son. Since we have no way of knowing how violent this man is let's not pass judgement on the wife and/or family for doing what they feel is in the best interest of their son.
2. He didn't go to the hospital and beat up the Hogans ... he was being violent with his own family. What kind of man does that? Poor guy my eye....I don't feel sorry for anybody that would do that to their family at such a time.
2. Nick "Hogan" should be held responsible for what happened. And yes, his daddy is rich and will hire the best attorney he can afford (wouldn't you if you could for your child?). The police will probably charge him very soon. He will probably get a fine, lose his license, go to driving school, do community service and be on probation for a set amount of time. That is what most anybody would expect ... but I don't think he should be charged and more severely based soley on the fact that he's Nick Hogan, The Hulk's son.

I pray that Graziano makes a speedy recovery and helps his (obviously disfuctional) family though this terrible time.

65. It's time for the Cartoon character and his dropout no-talent spoiled son to pay the piper and stop mitigating irresponsible decisions...and of couse I'm sure we're all hoping and praying 'the hurt guy' makes a full recovery ,but it's time for a total reversal of fortune for the Hulksters.

67. Go tell it to Nick on his Myspace page. On his Myspace page yeah, he's behind the wheel of a fast car.

68. Unclench you neandertals. You sound like you're auditioning for the Jerry Springer show. Daddy sounds unsavory at best but would you be this upset if one of the people involved wasn't famous?

69. I hope the local D.A. and presiding judge gets a look at all the material and comments (from most of us ) that are on the various web pages and justice will surely be swift and harsh no matter who the Hogan lawyer is . The videos and magazine interviews show exacttly how and why this happened. Plenty of places to point fingers but the Nick and Daddy are at the top of the list so my "prayers" will most certainly NOT be with them. Local careers will be at stake on this this one if it's not handled with severity and stiff penalties.And the pending lawsuits againt the Hogans will be a laydown.Nick (and Pops) are totally at fault .

70. If "anybody" like Nick and his irresponsible parents lived down the street from me driving like a maniac....yes...i would be just as mad and I would'nt put up with it. The Hogans neighbors have to be thankful to have that maniac kid off the streets.It's unfortunate that it came at such a high price...to someone else. Who cares about Hogan being famous and the dropout wannabe ? I mean these people are not exactly inventing I-phones now are they !

71. That father needs to go beat Nicks ass.

Someone has to be a father figure....Hulk sure doesnt know how to be one.

73. I don't condone DV but this man needs to be with his son. Lord forbid if it were my child, no one could keep me away.

"NO SHAME" just because it hasn't been in the media about what investigations may be happening, don't assume nothing is going on. Detectives keep their cards very close to them. They shouldn't be giving out information at this point.

As for that punk, Nick I hope you step up to the plate and face your consequences like a man.

74. I live in Clearwater and this story doesn't tell everything. This man has a record a mile long! I don't have any sympathy for him. I hope the cops jack up the jail and put him under it! I feel for the son in ICU. It's obvious that he comes from a very disfunctional family. Nick is also a product of his family and environment. Rich kids are always brats! By the way, the Viper did belong to Nick. The Hulk bought 2 of them - one for himself and one for Nick.
