- Here's a bizarre story. According to TMZ.COM, the father of John Graziano - the man who Nick Hogan had in the car with him when he crashed and left brain dead for the rest of his life - was arrested today for trying to hire a hit man to kill his wife with a combination of cash and.....a gift card.

The Grazianos are not living together but reunited for the trial of Nick Hogan and spoke against him and his family during their testimonial. His wife, Debra, was a friend of Hulk and Linda Hogan before the tragic accident in August of 2007.

TMZ.COM reports that the dad allegedly paid for the hit with $1,100 cash, a $1,000 personal check and a $13.06 gift card to Westshore Pizza. The Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigative Division have been following him for two and a half months undercover trying to bust him.

The wife's attorney said in a statement: "She is saddened by all of this. She can't believe so much tragedy can strike one family. Her main purpose is concentrating on John getting better."

Nick was sentenced to eight months in jail for his role in the accident and was released late last year early for good behavior. While both Hulk and Linda are in a major divorce battle at least none of them are trying to kill each other....or at least not that we know of!
