- And if one news story about the Hogans isn't enough today, here's another one. Nick Bollea is suing the Pinellas County sheriff's department for releasing his jail phone conversations with his mom and dad. The conversations sparked controversy after the three blasted the victim of the car crash, John Graziano, and his family. It made headlines on many celebrity blogs and news sites and was even up for debate on CNN television. The lawsuit says that the department violated Bollea's privacy and they don't want more conversations released to the public.
