He is scheduled to be sent to an adult section of Pinellas County jail to serve an eight month sentence in relation to his involvement in a car crash last August that left Hogan’s passenger with brain injuries. The Clearwater Police investigation into the crash revealed Hogan had been drinking the night of the accident.
