House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was arrested late
Saturday night on suspicion of driving under the influence
of alcohol after a collision, authorities said.
Paul Pelosi, 82, was booked into Napa County
Jail at around 4 a.m. Sunday for two misdemeanors, which
included driving with a blood alcohol level above .08
percent. He was released Sunday morning. His bail was set at
$5,000, jail records show.
According to preliminary information shared Sunday night by the
California Highway Patrol, CHP officers from its Napa unit
responded at 10:26 p.m. to reports of a collision at Highway 29
and Walnut Road in Oakville.
When officers arrived, they found two vehicles involved in a
collision. According to the CHP, Pelosi’s 2021 Porsche was
traveling eastbound on Walnut and was crossing the highway when
a 2014 Jeep traveling northbound on the highway struck it.
Neither Pelosi or the Jeep’s driver, a 48-year-olld Calistoga
man, were injured. Both men were wearing their seatbelts, the
CHP said.
House Speaker spokesman Drew Hammill said in an emailed
statement, “The Speaker will not be commenting on this private
matter, which occurred while she was on the East Coast.”
