People.com is reporting that Nick “Hogan” Bollea is suing a Florida sheriff’s department for releasing tapes of his jailhouse conversations with his parents Hulk and Linda. The suit alleges that the Sheriff’s department violated Nick’s privacy and is seeking that they don’t do the same with further conversations. His attorney, Morris Weinberg, is quoted as saying, “Nick only asks that he be treated no differently than the other inmates at the Pinellas County Jail. Instead, the Sheriff’s Office has singled him out by the unprecedented release to the media of his personal calls with his family.”
Yesterday morning, Nick Hogan filed a motion through his attorney asking to be released from jail. Citing “extreme anxiety” as a result of his isolation in jail (due to his age) as the reason for his request, he requested that he be granted house arrest until his 18th birthday next month. Today, TMZ.com reports that a judge has denied Nick’s request and the troubled son of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan must remain behind bars.
