Paul Pelosi Faces Potential Hit-and-Run Review in Napa County
Authorities say Pelosi struck a parked car, briefly stopped and drove away, and investigators ruled out alcohol after a 0.00 blood-alcohol test.
- Paul Pelosi, 86-year-old husband of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, is suspected of striking a parked vehicle on the 6700 block of Yount Street in Yountville around 2:30 p.m. Friday and driving away from the scene.
- A 911 caller reported a brown convertible traveling northbound on Yount Street hit an unoccupied, legally parked vehicle, causing significant rear damage, with the witness observing the driver briefly stop before leaving.
- Deputies discovered the disabled brown convertible partially blocking Yountville Cross Road and identified Pelosi through his California driver's license; he told investigators he hit something but did not know what it was, so he continued driving until the vehicle became inoperable.
- Pelosi was not arrested, consistent with California misdemeanor arrest laws, and preliminary testing showed a blood alcohol level of 0.00, ruling out driving under the influence.
- The Napa County District Attorney's Office will review the case for possible prosecution, while a California DMV re-evaluation referral form will be submitted as standard procedure for elderly drivers.
