US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband was arrested at 10:30 PM on Saturday for drunk driving.
According to California online police booking records Paul Pelosi, 82, crashed his Porsche a few miles from the couples’ multi-million-dollar vineyard, River Run. His accident occurred at the off-ramp of State Route-29 in Napa Valley. Heading towards a country lane that borders other vineyards.
When he attempted to cross SR 29, “his Porsche was struck” by a local man in a 2014 Jeep. The 48-year-old driver of the jeep was seemingly not at fault and was not held or arrested at the scene.
Based on photos of the junction, the California Democrat’s husband may have driven through a stop sign.
No one was injured in the crash.
Pelosi was charged with one count of driving under the influence. And one count of driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher. His bail was set at $5,000 for both misdemeanor charges.
He was released on bail at 7:26 am from the Napa County detention center
