The victim of a car accident two years ago finally returned home from his hospital stay Wednesday. The accident involved John Graziano, who was in the hospital for two years with brain injuries, and Nick Hogan, the son of the former wrestling star Hulk Hogan. 

Hogan lost control of his car August 26, 2007 and smashed his car into a tree, injuring Graziano in the process. For a reckless driving conviction, Hogan spent five months in prison. Graziano also filed a civil lawsuit against Hogan to recoup medical expenses. The lawsuit is still pending.

A jailed man was charged for a 2000 strangling Wednesday. Carl Chavers apparently lived three houses down from a Laquetta White, who was raped and killed nine years ago.

Until recently, police were unable to match any evidence from the crime scene to a possible suspect. However, when DNA evidence from the scene was matched with Chavers's DNA from a 2008 sexual battery case, police were convinced that Chavers was the guilty party.

A man crashed his car into an accident scene Monday night. Kevin Chaney was arrested Wednesday for causing the accident. 

According to police reports, Chaney was traveling south on U.S. 19 Monday night when he switched lanes quickly to avoid traffic. While switching lanes, Chaney lost control of his car, which then hit the police car at the site of the original accident.

When two police officers saw Chaney's car approaching, they jumped over the divider, which led to injuries for both officers. After Chaney's car came to a stop, police performed a field sobriety test and Chaney registered 0.219 blood alcohol level.
