Paul Pelosi, husband of former US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, faces a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge after a vehicle that he was driving struck a parked car in California, the Napa County Sheriff's Office said on Saturday.
According to the statement from the Sheriff's Office, the collision occurred on Friday afternoon in Yountville and caused major damage to a vehicle legally parked on the shoulder of the road.
Deputies later determined that Pelosi drove the vehicle that caused the collision.
Pelosi said that he had hit something but did not know what he had hit, so he kept driving until his car became disabled and he was no longer able to continue.
Prior DUI arrest
Police did not report that any alcohol was detected after he was questioned.
In a prior incident, in 2022, Pelosi was arrested for drunk driving after colliding with a Jeep in Napa County, California. He pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and was sentenced to three years of probation.
Pelosi was not arrested following the recent incident.
