The husband of Nancy Pelosi, Paul Pelosi, pleaded guilty Tuesday to driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury for a May car crash in Napa County.Another count against him was dismissed in the interest of justice.
Pelosi was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation. Pelosi already served two days in jail and received conduct credit for two other days, Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said. He will work eight hours in the court's work program in lieu of the remaining day, Solga said during Pelosi's sentencing, which he did not attend. State law allows for DUI misdemeanor defendants to appear through their attorney unless ordered otherwise by the court.ABC7 Bay Area 24/7 streaming channelABC7 News spoke with the Napa County DA, who says this is a very normal sentence for this type of incident, regardless of who is involved.
As part of his probation, Pelosi will also be required to attend a three-month drinking driver class, and install an ignition interlock device, where the driver has to provide a breath sample before the engine will start. He will also have to pay nearly $7,000 in fines, the judge said. Pelosi was arrested following a May 28 crash in Napa County after a DUI test showed he had a blood alcohol content level of .082%. The blood sample was taken about two hours after the collision occurred at 10:17 p.m., the Napa County District Attorney's Office said in a statement.
