Paul Pelosi, husband to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, got into a bit of trouble when he was smacked with a DUI for crashing his vehicle while under the influence not he way home for a dinner party.
From the New York Post…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband crashed a new Porsche just five miles from their multi-million-dollar California vineyard when he was busted for allegedly driving drunk, police documents revealed Monday.
Paul Pelosi, 82, was in a 2021 Porsche when he tried to get across State Route-29 in Napa Valley from a country lane close to other vineyards, just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday, his arrest report said.
As he attempted to cross the main road, “his Porsche was struck” by a 2014 Jeep driven by a 48-year-old local man, the document said. The other driver was not arrested.
The Speaker’s husband was charged with one count of driving under the influence and another for driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher — both are misdemeanors.
“Pelosi was released at 7:26 a.m. Sunday, three hours after he was booked into jail, on $5,000 bail, the records show,” the New York Post reports.
Paul Pelosi’s attorney, Paul Kramer, spoke with Fox News.
“He left that party at 10:15 p.m. Saturday, to drive to his home a short distance away. He was alone in his car,” Kramer stated. “Mr. Pelosi was fully cooperative with California Highway Patrol officers who arrived a few minutes later,” he said.
