Protection order requested against Hulk Hogan

The latest twist in the Hulk Hogan melodrama: Linda Bollea's boyfriend, 20-year-old Charles F. Hill, filed an injunction for protection against Terry Bollea, a.k.a., Hulk Hogan.

The petition was filed at 4:56 p.m. last Thursday.

A judge denied it that day.

In his filing, Hill said  he was being "dangerously followed" by Hulk Hogan while driving west on Turner Street in Clearwater. When they came to the light at Chestnut Street and Oak Avenue, Hulk Hogan "pulled up next to him and stared at him," the petition said. That incident happened on Nov. 11 at 10:30 p.m., according to the filing.

On Nov. 12, the petition said, Hill was followed by Hulk from the beach to Hill's house on Lantana Avenue on Clearwater Beach. Hill wrote that Hulk was "tailgating & intimidating" him.

These events led Hill to fear that Hulk will "attempt to kill or injure him, since Petitioner (Hill) is dating respondent's estranged wife, Linda Bollea."

The petition asked that Hulk be barred from coming within 500 feet of Hill, or the places he works: Captains School in St. Petersburg and Anchor Pool Services in Clearwater.

Terry and Linda Bollea are currently going through a contentious divorce.
