Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, issued a statement following an incident where Paul Pelosi allegedly crashed his convertible into a parked car in Napa County and left the scene. According to a spokesperson, Paul Pelosi has apologized to the vehicle's owner and has committed to taking responsibility for the damages. The incident occurred on Friday in Yountville, where a witness reported seeing a vehicle collide with a parked car at approximately 2:30 p.m. The Napa County Sheriff’s Office reported that the parked vehicle sustained significant damage.
After the crash, Paul Pelosi was found on Yountville Cross Road with his vehicle disabled. He admitted to hitting something but was unsure of what it was. Authorities confirmed that alcohol was not a factor in the incident, as a preliminary alcohol screening showed a blood alcohol content of 0.00. He was not arrested at the scene, which is standard for misdemeanor offenses. The case has been forwarded to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office for review, with a recommendation for a misdemeanor charge of property damage hit-and-run without bodily injury. This incident follows a previous DUI charge that Paul Pelosi pleaded guilty to in 2022.
