Paul Pelosi Faces Potential Criminal Charges After Hit-and-Run Incident

Paul Pelosi, the husband of the former long-time Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi, is facing hit-and-run charges in Napa Valley, California.

Authorities claim that Pelosi struck a parked vehicle with his brown convertible and promptly drove away until his own car “became disabled.” Pelosi reportedly told investigators that “he knew he had hit something but did not know what it was,” according to Fox News.

Pelosi, who is 86-years-old, is reported to have had no alcohol in his system at the time that authorities administered a test. He was not placed under arrest at the scene, but investigators referred his case to county prosecutors and a driver’s license reassessment to state authorities.

The Pelosis were just months away from exiting the spotlight, as Rep. Nancy Pelosi has not sought reelection and will be without office for the first time in 40 years.
