Paul Pelosi Gets 5 Days In Jail 3 Years Probation On Dui

The husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor DUI related to a May crash in California’s wine country and was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation. Paul Pelosi already served two days in jail and was given conduct credit for two more days, Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said. Paul Pelosi will work eight hours on the court’s work schedule instead of the remaining day, Solga said during Paul Pelosi’s sentencing, which he did not attend. State law allows misdemeanor DUI defendants to appear through their attorney unless the court orders otherwise. As part of his probation, Paul Pelosi will also have to take a three-month alcohol driver course and install an ignition interlock device, where the driver must provide a breath sample before starting the engine. He will also have to pay nearly $7,000 in fines, the judge said. Paul Pelosi was arrested following a May 28 crash in Napa County, north of San Francisco, after a DUI test showed he had a blood alcohol content of 0.082%, just above the legal limit. Officers who responded to the crash after 10 p.m. near the wine country town of Yountville said they found Pelosi in the driver’s seat of a 2021 Porsche Carrera and the other driver standing outside a sport utility vehicle, according to the complaint. California Highway Patrol officers reported that Pelosi was “unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred and he smelled strongly of an alcoholic beverage.” Pelosi offered officers his driver’s license along with an “11-99 Foundation” card when asked for identification, the complaint states. The 11-99 Foundation supports CHP workers and their families. Prosecutors filed the case as a misdemeanor due to injury to the 48-year-old driver of the SUV. They declined to identify the driver, saying the person requested privacy. In an interview with investigators from the district attorney’s office, the driver reported pain in his upper right arm, right shoulder and neck the day after the crash. He said he also had headaches. Pelosi was released on $5,000 bail after his arrest. Speaker Pelosi was in Rhode Island to deliver the commencement address at Brown University at the time. Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
