Nick Bollea Is Jailed For Eight Months

Bollea, 17, pleaded no contest to the charge, as part of a plea deal that meant he couldn't serve more than one year in Pinellas County Jail.

As well as the jail time, Bollea was also handed five years probation; his driver's license has been suspended for three years; and he has been banned from drinking alcohol for five years.

The sentence was handed out in court in Pinellas, Florida on Friday (9May08)
The punishment stems from a horrific crash in Clearwater, Florida last year (07), when Bollea drove his Toyota Supra into a palm tree at high speed. His passenger John Graziano suffered brain injuries, and is still receiving medical treatment.
