Paul Pelosi, husband of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run on July 17 after authorities alleged he struck another vehicle parked on the side of a road on July 3 in Napa County, California.
The Napa County District Attorney’s Office also charged Pelosi, 86, of St. Helena, with making an unlawful turn.
A witness who saw the accident called 911. Napa County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene in Yountville, California, on July 3 and found Pelosi sitting inside his brown convertible, about one-quarter mile away from the damaged car that was struck on the shoulder of a roadway, the department reported.
According to deputies, Pelosi’s car sustained damage to the front.
Pelosi allegedly told deputies he hit something but he did not know what or when, and had continued driving, according to the sheriff’s department statement.
He did not test positive for alcohol, authorities said.
Deputies did not arrest Pelosi at the scene. No injuries were reported at the time, and he was allowed to go home with a misdemeanor citation for leaving the scene of an accident.
The sheriff’s office recommended Pelosi to the California Department of Motor Veh
