Surprise update in ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Paul Hogan’s son’s domestic battery case

“Crocodile Dundee” star Paul Hogan’s son will not be charged in connection to his domestic violence arrest, the California Post has learned.

Chance Hogan, Paul’s youngest child, was arrested at his father’s home in May after an alleged domestic battery, but will no longer face criminal prosecution after the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office reviewed the case.

Police were sent to the 85-year-old Hogan’s Venice home after receiving a domestic disturbance call at around 10:30 a.m. on May 1.

Paul and an unknown woman were seen speaking to officers outside the home during the incident after Chance apparently left the scene.

Chance was later tracked down and arrested. He was booked on misdemeanor domestic battery and his bail was set at $20,000.

While charges against Chance have been dropped, Chance has a history of concerning behaviors.

On his private Instagram, he drunkenly begged someone to “please kill me” as he was drinking wine while watching an American sitcom show last year.

“This is my life, This is what it’s been reduced to. Please. Please kill me. I’m begging you,” he said.

Chance, who is also the lead singer of punk rock band Rowdy P, posted himself on the band’s Instagram page in front of a huge fire with his shirt off.
