Father of John Graziano Arrested

On Friday, Edward Graziano was arrested for violating a domestic violence injunction. Graziano is the father of John Graziano, the young man who was a passenger in Nick Hogan’s car when he struck a tree during an alleged street race. Edward Graziano reportedly became violent with family members on Thursday at the Bayfront Medical Center, in the ICU ward.

The police were called to the hospital that afternoon after Graziano’s wife admitted that her husband became physical during an argument with family members. Once the matter was taken care of and Graziano left, his wife renewed a previous domestic violence injunction that she had against her husband. The injunction dealt with a June 21 arrest for domestic battery, battery on a law enforcement officer, and witness tampering.

Due to the fact that Graziano returned to the hospital on Friday, he violated the injunction and was arrested later that day. He currently remains in jail.

    Wow, what a fxcked up, trashballer family. The guy’s kid’s in ICU and they try to ban him from the hospital? That’s pretty much what I expected this kid’s family to be like. He’s trash, Nick Bollea is trash, just two trashballers in the wrong place at the wrong time. Screw ‘em all.

    Wow you really call a War Veteran a piece of trash. John put his life on the line for you to have the right to say that though…after all he helped keep my ass alive in Iraq and many other Marines. H

    “John put his life on the line for you to have the right to say that though…”

    No stupid, Chris’ vocal chords gave him the right to say that. Marines don’t protect any freedom that nature doesn’t already give us. Marines protect a natural ability, that our government’s ideology has deemed that we deserve. Quite saying military defends our freedom, the US hinders freedoms and claims to “defend” the one that they want to give back

    Its like putting your name on a present you didn’t give.

    To #2 Chris..you should be ashamed. I am sure you are very angry and there are plenty of us who are angry that a 22 year old man’s life as he used to know it is over. My anger is that there are too many people like John who pay the price for a drivers immature stupidity behind the wheel. John did our country a great service by being in the military. I am not politically inclined myself and will be glad when the Bush administration is over but where in the hell would we be if we didn’t have people like John and so many others who volunteer to serve in our armed forces? And to be so nasty in your comments about the Graziano family…my god, you need some help. I do hope the Bolleas are held responsible for this horrible wreck..I am sorry I cannot say accident. They should be held accountable…if it was my son who caused the car to crash, you damn well know I would be made accountable. That is the way it is..it is the law. And the laws are supposed to be for all of us..not just us every day people. I have read where people are wishing Nick was in John’s place and even worse. No I don’t wish that but I do hope for real justice for John and his family….they deserve that much. The Bolleas and the Graziano’s are all going through something none of us ever should and I have seen what it does to familys. When my friends lost their 4 year old daughter because of wreckless driving none of the families were ever the same. The same will go to the Graziano’s and Bolleas. Chris my final word to you is grow up a little bit. For your own sake.

    In response to Rosie-
    Why would anyone wish that Nick was in John’s place?
    I wouldn’t wish that tragedy on anyone.

    This world has some real haters. So sad.

    This response goes out to Chris. I can only imagine that you are a person of little or no character, because for you to call someone that you do not even know “trash” as well include his family in it is sad. I went to school with John and his sister and he is genuinely one of the nicest and kindest person’s I have ever met. His family is exactly the same way. You should know what you read in the media isn’t necessarily always true, and that most of the time they are just usually trying to pin the blame on someone. I honestly feel sorry for Nick, he is young and childish, and he will have to live with what he did for the rest of his life, and I think that is enough.I guess I just think for you to fire off a remark like you did with out any factual information just media biased opinions is a little ridiculous, and you should feel ashame for offending any people that actually know the family, and are praying for John’s recovery.

    I think that Chris and Gary need to be sent over to Iraq…..or maybe say what they said to a marines face or how about Johns family. Would you have the BALLS to do that?? Im thinkin NOT.

    #10 Rosie on 11.09.07 at 2:24 pm

    Cherie, I never said that I felt that Nick should be in John’s place. I said I have read many comments from folks who feel that way. No, Nick shouldn’t be in John’s place. No one deserves that…but he does need some serious counseling and to step up to the plate and pay however the courts say. John Graziano is going to a Vet. Hospital now…a horrible fate. No I don’t wish this on Nick or his family but no matter what, after all is said and done, a 22 year old man’s life is over as he knew it. His family will never be the same….and neither will the Bollea family. Yes Nick is young and foolish and obviously extremely immature. His parents have much to answer for….sadly for them. And this will hang over them for the rest of their lives. No Nick doesn’t deserve to be in John’s place and I cannot understand those who feel that way but I do understand those who are angry…I have seen what this does to a family when their loved one is lost to them. You never get over it. Celebrity or not, you get behind the wheel of a car and you are responsible for what you do…and if you are a minor, your parents are responsible too. That is just a fact of life.

    I lost my own child at the age of 13 years old in an accident.It is very sad for the family to be fighting at a time like this.Yes it was careless for Nick to drive like that.But kids think that nothing will happen to them.Who are we to judge someone?Life is full of mistakes to which some of us learn from,and some don’t.We can just pray that this is a wake up call for Nick.Right now I just hope and pray for the family of John.Because I have been there.Right now its about John.Stop thinking what will happen to Nick and his parents.Don’t think for one minute Nick and his parents are hurting.

    I’m not really sure if John being in Iraq has anything to do with this. You have the Bolleas who purchase race cars for their teenage son, so of course a teenager is going to horse the thing around. You have a rich area where the cops let the kids do whatever the heck they want. Again, despite speeding tickets the Bolleas respond by doing nothing and purchasing more race cars for their son. Again, the cops do nothing. Now you have a family who probably knows about Nick’s reputation, allows their son to hang out with Nick, and John makes a concious decision to ride in the car with Nick and probably helped in egging him on to go even faster. Pair these two friends up with another rich, slap on the wrist, teenage speedster and look what happened.

    It is truly a horrifying and disheartening outcome but that is the risk. The truth is everyone is to blame. Sure he served in Iraq, but he still has to make smart decisions for himself. Situation is horrible, happens to people all the time, why should celebs be any different. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cops agreed to silently drop alcohol charges against Nick. Sad story but this was going to happen sooner or later.

    WOw, Nick Hogan is a cock suckre.

    #14 ANGEL SHEPPARD on 12.11.07 at 4:05 pm

    I must admit when i heard the news of John it was tragic. As im sure it was for those who knew him best. I did though have the privalege to serve with him in Iraq. He was very dedicated to his fellow Marines and was very effecient at his job. For those who were not there keep your mouth shut, cause you dont know shit and it affends me to hear people talkin about matter that they dont even know about, except for the news, which most of the time they dont know what they are talking about. So outta respect for him and family keep your comments to yourself if you dont have anything to say. Semper Fi
