Nick Hogan was immediately taken into custody after the judge read his sentence: eight months in jail and five years of probation in the car crash that left his friend, John Graziano, seriously injured with extensive brain injuries.

The Clearwater Police Department completed an investigation into the causes of the crash and concluded that Nick was speeding and had also been seen drinking the night of the crash. The tolerance level for a driver under 21 is zero.

At the Pinellas County court today in Florida, Judge Philip Federico handed down the sentence to an emotionless Nick Hogan, who was supported by his lawyer Kevin Hayslett.

Hayslett told reporters that Nick is "happy" with the sentence.
