Paul Pelosi Charged with Hit-and-Run in Napa Valley Crash
Paul Pelosi, the 86‑year‑old husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was charged with a misdemeanor hit‑and‑run after a July 3 collision in Napa Valley, California. Police say his Maserati convertible struck a parked Tesla in Yountville and he briefly left the scene before returning. The vehicle was later found partially blocking a driveway with significant front‑passenger damage. Sobriety tests showed no alcohol in his system.
The Napa County District Attorney filed the charge, which carries a possible sentence of up to six months in county jail and a fine of up to $1,000. The incident adds to Pelosi’s long driving record that includes multiple citations and a 2022 DUI arrest. He has not yet entered a plea, and the case is expected to proceed through arraignment and potential trial.
