PINELLAS COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea, has pleaded no contest to a charge of speeding in a construction zone.

On Aug. 10, a Pinellas Park police officer spotted Bollea going almost double the speed limit.

According to Ron Stuart, a spokesman for the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Clearwater, Judge William Overton adjudicated him guilty Monday morning and ordered a fine of $1,000, the maximum fine for the offense.

The judge also ordered the 17-year old to complete a 12-hour driver improvement course within 90 days. Furthermore, the judge adjudicated Bollea guilty on a failure to wear a seatbelt charge and and fined him $73.50.

The Pinellas Park traffic stop happened a few weeks before Bollea crashed a yellow Supra into a palm tree in Clearwater, injuring his passenger John Graziano, who remains in critical condition.

Police say Bollea was speeding in that accident and are still investigating. No charges have been filed in that case.
