Nick Hogan, 17-year-old son of former wrestler Hulk Hogan, was sentenced Friday to eight months in jail for the August car crash that left best friend, John Graziano, critically injured.

Pleading no contest the younger Hogan will be put on five years’ probation after his release and must perform 500 hours of community service, complete DUI school and is prohibited from drinking alcohol of any kind during his probation.

Three days after being arrested for a traffic violation, the actor-rapper DMX was arrested early Friday at his Phoenix-area home and charged with seven misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and four counts of felony drug possession.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, shut himself in his bedroom when the SWAT team with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office first arrived, but officers talked him into cooperating, after which they discovered weapons, drugs and five pit bull puppies.

The rapper was booked and bail has been set at $7500. He will be due back in court May 15.
