Paul Pelosi, husband to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), was involved in a two-vehicle car crash roughly an hour before his arrest for driving under the influence, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

Pelosi was driving eastbound down Walnut Drive when he attempted to cross State Route-29, and his 2021 Porsche was “struck by” a Jeep traveling northbound just before 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, CHP said in a statement.

Photos of the junction reportedly show Pelosi would have had to have driven through a stop sign to get on SR-29. Video of the crash site reportedly shows “a busted out fence and downed sign.”

CHP determined the crash to be a “two-vehicle non-injury crash” and arrested Pelosi for driving under the influence at 11:44 p.m., just five miles away from the Pelosi’s River Run vineyard. Law enforcement did not arrest the 48-year-old driver of the Jeep.

As Breitbart News reported:

The speaker’s husband was arrested just before midnight Saturday (11:44 p.m.) in Napa County and booked into jail hours later — just after four o’clock in the morning — on two counts, according to the Napa County Criminal Justice Network.

Pelosi was booked into jail on two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence but bailed out on a $5,000 bond at 7:26 a.m., according to local records.

Pelosi’s office has remained silent “on this private matter which occurred while she was on the East Coast.”

Unbelievable!



That cop must have been planning his escape from Kali.
Hope he isn't almost old enough to retire.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least for the officer to meet an untimely death, and all the arrest paperwork to be "missing in action" between now and the court date.

I like the fact that they "did not arrest the driver of the jeep" for getting in the way of his drunk butt....

Down here in the land of fruits and nuts, you gotta have bodily injury before DUI becomes felony.
People used to kinda/sorta respect the CHP, but almost 5 hours AFTER the accident is when the breathalyzer was taken? Old bastard was drunk on his ass if he blew a .08 5 hours later. BAC goes down at .0015 per hour...guy was almost blackout stage when he blew the stopsign. Who else would get a 4 or 5 hour postponement?


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I would venture a guess that some would get a 24 hr reprieve from a BAC, Gavin Newsome, for example. Kudos to that officer for having the integrity to even follow through on that situation.

He needed to get home in a hurry. Nance had some insider info to share and they needed to get some orders into their broker quick.

He can then argue that he had to have a couple of drinks after he got home to settle his nerves and that is why he blew the .08. I wonder why this wasn't considered a hit and run?

It took 5 hours because you can bet he was using all of his Constitutional rights calling lawyers and consultants before he would consent to the test. It was a gamble and it paid off because he only tested a .08. I hope they have him on video after the accident and in the jail to support the officers claims.

If he was sampling the family product, he must have consumed a couple of gallons to get that smashed- - - -unless they're producing something resembling Mad Dog 20/20!

Yep he is gonna skate on the DUI for sure based on the time elapsed and the fact they cant prove he was drunk at the time of crash. Might end up with a leaving the scene ticket etc
