CLEARWATER - Even at the most wrenching of moments, as Hulk Hogan testified for his son, his trademark bandana covered his head.

But the formal black bandana he wore normally would not have been allowed in the courtroom, said Ron Stuart, public information officer for the Sixth Judicial Circuit.

Bailiffs did not ask Hogan to remove his trademark head cover after he showed up late, saying "it would have caused a big scene to have him take it off," Stuart said.

"Technically he shouldn't have been allowed to wear it," Stuart said. "But normally bailiffs do those things when people are coming in, and there was just so much going on that it wasn't noticed in time."

The circuit has no formal dress code, "it's just no hats or caps are allowed in the courtroom," he said.
