Nick Hogan turned himself in today upon learning of charges issued for reckless driving causing serious bodily harm, and his family issued this statement:

“Nick and the entire Hogan Bollea family are saddened that criminal charges have been filed in regards to the tragic single car accident on August 26, 2007. Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena a court of law. The family’s primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick’s longtime friend John Graziano. The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can. The tragedy to both families is compounded by the fact that unfortunately John was not wearing his seatbelt. Thankfully, Nick was wearing his. Because of what happened to John, the entire Bollea family will make it a priority to increase public awareness about the importance of always wearing your seatbelt. There has been much speculation as to the speed and wet road conditions surrounding this accident. Although all the evidence has not been evaluated, preliminary reports from the experts indicate that this was not, in fact, a high-speed accident. Because Nick is still a juvenile and has no prior criminal record, we are disappointed that he is being charged as an adult offender. However, we are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident. We ask all who follow these events to keep an open mind as to the facts until they have been ultimately determined. Finally, we thank all who have prayed for John’s recovery and ask for your continued support and prayers.”

Which sounds nice and all, but soon after they released that statement, TMZ came forward with some interesting information about Nick’s arrest:

In addition to being arrested for reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, cops also cited Hogan for use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher and having and Illegal window tint.

I am sure Nick Hogan feels real bad and all, but guess what, he is a giant ASSHOLE! Almost killing your friend, and leaving them in a still critical care health situation while you were drinking and not only driving, but racing, is a douchebag thing to do. Then, issuing statements saying he should have been wearing a seatbelt sounds like a slap to the face, because its like no shit he should have been wearing a seatbelt, but a 17 year old should not be out stunt 101ing in his nice ass car, after he has been drinking on wet roads either.

I guess this is one of those lessons you see people learn the hard way on.
