Nick Bollea (a.k.a. Nick Hogan) was sentenced to eight months in Florida County Jail today after pleading no contest to charges of felony reckless driving. Details from People: "In addition to the jail time, which begins immediately, Bollea, 17, was sentenced to 5 years probation, during which he will serve 500 hours of community service, not be allowed to drink any alcohol and have his driver's license revoked for 3 years."I think there is an understanding of what happened, and there is a sense of acceptance of responsibility," the judge said, explaining his decision. "There is nothing that the court can impose that is close to what John has dealt with or will have to deal with as he moves forward."Leaving the courthouse, Bollea's family did not address reporters. His attorneys did say that Bollea was "happy" with the sentence, and happy that the case was finished.Felony Conviction to Be ErasedCiting Bollea's age and his lack of any prior criminal record – beyond a series of speeding tickets that the judge deemed as showing a "cavalier" attitude behind the wheel – the jurist decided not to force Bollea into guilty verdict, meaning his "no contest" plea will stand. He also will not have a felony conviction on his record once he turns 18 later this summer." Ouch!
