Pelosi, 86, was driving his brown convertible July 3 in
Yountville, California, a town in the heart of wine country,
when he struck a legally parked car on the side of the road, the
Napa County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement at the time. He
briefly stopped and then allegedly drove away. The parked car
was unoccupied and no injuries were reported.
Pelosi did not have any alcohol in his system, according to the
statement.
State law requires drivers involved in accidents resulting in
property damage to stop and provide their vehicle and license
information; Pelosi was charged with a misdemeanor violation of
that law. In addition, Pelosi was charged with an infraction of
making an unlawful turn, Napa County prosecutors said Friday.
No attorney for Paul Pelosi was listed in court records. Nancy
Pelosi's press office did not immediately respond to a call
seeking comment.
Paul Pelosi's court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 14.
Pelosi pleaded guilty in 2022 to misdemeanor charges of driving
under the influence in Napa County and was sentenced to five
days in jail and three years of probation. He served two days in
jail and received good conduct credit for two other days,
leaving just one day to serve in a work program at the
courthouse.
As part of his probation, Pelosi was required to pay thousands
in fines and victim restitution, attend a three-month drinking
driver class and install an ignition interlock device, which
forces drivers to provide a breath sample to prove sobriety
before the engine will start.
That same year he was attacked and severely beaten with a hammer
at the couple’s San Francisco home.
