Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was charged Friday with a misdemeanor hit-and-run over a collision with a parked car earlier this month.
Pelosi, 86, was driving his brown convertible July 3 in Yountville, California, a town in the heart of wine country, when he struck a legally parked car on the side of the road, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement at the time. He briefly stopped and then allegedly drove away. The parked car was unoccupied and no injuries were reported.
Pelosi did not have any alcohol in his system, according to the statement.
State law requires drivers involved in accidents resulting in property damage to stop and provide their vehicle and license information; Pelosi was charged with a misdemeanor violation of that law. In addition, Pelosi was charged with an infraction of making an unlawful turn, Napa County prosecutors said Friday.
