Mr. Nancy Pelosi arrested for DUI in Napa County
2022-05-30
What about the hooker with him?
[TMZ] Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, was arrested this weekend for DUI ... TMZ has learned.

The House Speaker's spouse was arrested just before midnight Saturday night in Napa County, and then booked hours later into jail on two counts -- driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher ... both misdemeanors.

The details of the incident of the arrest have yet to surface, and we're working on getting a full narrative -- as well as a mug shot if available -- but at the moment, this is all there is.

BTW, the arrest info here lines up with what we know about Paul publicly, especially his birthday -- listed as April 15, 1940. Indeed, the guy's 82 years old.

No word on whether the Speaker herself was with Paul during this bust -- as you know, she's often in D.C. for her job ... but since it's Memorial Day weekend, she could've possibly been back home with her family for a bit -- but it seems unlikely. At the moment, it appears she's in Rhode Island for a commencement speech to graduates there.

She hasn't publicly acknowledged Paul's arrest, and neither have any of her children or immediate family as far as we can tell.

In any case, Paul's bail was set at $5,000 -- so we imagine he's already out at this point. He's been married to Nancy since 1963.
Whoopie! He was in a collision with a jeep in his 2021 Porsche before the DUI. Double-plus ungood, and much harder to wish away

#22  Sad the Pelosi's don't have enough money to hire a driver.
I'm surprised that rich celebs ever get busted for DUI. Party at your house or hire a driver, it's not difficult you dolts.

BINGO!
Drinkers who have stopped drinking burn off alcohol at the rate of .015% per hour as a general rule unless they have compounding health issues.
A field sobriety test or the arresting officer use of the Horizontal Nystagmus Test seems likely. HGN is a standardized field sobriety test (FST) that police often administer in order to gauge whether a DUI suspect is under the influence of alcohol. It has a 77% accuracy rate and can be the basis for the breathalyzer. Absent an admission by the suspect, a breathalyzer or blood draw is the formal confirmation for DUI.
The delay in the breathalyzer is highly suspect.

#11  For the CHP to know who he is and arrest him anyway, the guy had to be seriously wasted.

#9  They waited over 4 hours for the breathalyser which showed 0.8. Probably much higher at the time.

Was he given a ticket for blowing past the stop sign?

#8  CHP made the arrest, and it seems likely that the collision with the Jeep was sufficient to render inop vehicle(s), an initial medical response and a traffic block with multiple witnesses. That much visibility makes it virtually impossible to smooth over. Where he was before the accident is far more interesting an inquiry.

#7  Well, that's Cali. DUI (if illegal immigrant, celebrity) is no big deal. By charging him, the cops can say they are doing their jobs. The courts will be where it is made to go quietly away.

I predict the police officers career has taken a turn in direction.

More than likely the LSD controlled media will dig deep looking for anything on the officer. All to deflect from the fact Mr. Pelosi was drunk as Ted Kennedy a skunk

#1  I'm sure he'll run into a tough as nails D.A. out there, lose his driver's license and serve six months in jail.

What? What are you laughing at?
