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..

93. A lot of "domestic violence" is fake, just lies from an angry woman. Whatever happened here, I hope that Dad can visit his son. This can be scheduled so that there is not any overlap with whoever.

94. The dad needs to act like a father and not go in causing trouble. No wonder Miss. Graziano wanted him out.

95. Nick, how stupid are you that you couldn't even finish high school? Huh??? Did mommy and daddy tell you...you didn't need to finish high school because they would provide you all the money you would ever need.

Guess what ignorant boy. Your life is ruined. I'm happy about that as you so deserve what you've got coming. Prison baby. Enjoy the ride.

96. Nick. Can you spell idiot?

97. "I don't blame anyone for keeping him out of there. His explosive temper is the last thing the nurses, doctors and, most importantly, his son, needs right now."


Absolutely. Sorry but violence isn't helping anyone and it's totally unacceptable no matter how much pain he is in. Period. There is never an excuse to abuse others. What about the kids in Iraq who are dying everyday? Do there families get to punch out that liar Bush?

99. "I just want to say thank you so much to those of you who are praying and concerned about John. As of right now it's all about little steps and praying for him. He's a strong person and has been to Iraq and back hes going to pull through. Please continue to pray because reguardless where the media is getting the false information hes not doing good. He's progressing little by little but things can change from minute to minute. As much as we would all love to hear hes doing good its something thats going to take time. We just ask that everyone continues to pray and keep him in your thoughts because thats all he needs right now~! Thanks so much again!!! " ... From John's girlfriend's myspace

100. I think it is sad that this father has such an uncontrollable temper that he would get violent in the same room where his son is fighting for his life....Just what John doesn't need while fighting for his life..I'd like to know "whose" family it was he got violent with? I for one do not think he belongs in ICU with other family member or the Hogan family. I do believe he should be allowed to spend time with his son with big time supervision? NO ONE ELSE IN THE ROOM!! I would have thought that his wife would have asked for protection from the get-go knowing her husband's MO...She knew that an event like this would happen and delibertly did nothing to prevent it..Sounds like a set-up to me..She belongs at the Pinella jail along with him...

Hopefully the police are investigating every avenue in finding out who was driving the Viper involved in the race that caused this devistating accident and who was behind the wheel. Seems strange it was the same make and color as Hulk's..

God Bless John..he went to Iraq to protect us and no one was protecting or respecting him when he came home..

101. This guy's eye look DEAD...-Member of the gambino crime family???

Posted at 2:22PM on Sep 3rd 2007 by Duh.

102. I just heard on the news about a man who was angry with the police, just gotten out of jail and drove a bulldozer into it.. He had been in jail for being a 'HABITUAL MOTOR VEHICLE OFFENDER." If this spells out tickets for DWI, Speeding, etc.? He did jail time.

I am wondering, considering Nick Hogan's driving record and the tickets HE DID and DID NOT and SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED if John would be fighting for his life in ICU.. and Nick Hogan would have not been on the street with a 4000 pound vehicle endangeriing, possibly killing other people..

I hope the police officers that turned their heads when they caught Nick Hogan ,speeing on a number of times and never ticketed him..just tipped their hats to him , possibly and I mean possibly told him to slow down to at least 90 MPH , and said to tell Hulk "hello." are sleeping good these days..they are just as guilty as Nick and his parents..

Ah, yes, it still remains in this day and again more than ever, it is not WHAT YOU KNOW...BUT WHO YOU KNOW!!

103. well he took care of his wife and nick took care of his kid ... maybe he needed to take out some other stress and beat on some other family members.

104.
Ok--Nick Hogan was in an accident and the passenger is in critical condition? I guess all the money and home the Hogans has can't get their son out of this? Was there drinking involved or drugs? Is Nick in jail? Attorney been hired? Let me know peeps.
