Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was banned from driving for six months after a hit-and-run crash into a parked car, prosecutors said.
Paul Pelosi, 86, has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor hit-and-run charges and illegal turning traffic violation charges in connection with a July crash in Yountsville, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office said.
Under the plea agreement, Napa County Superior Court Judge Scott RL Young sentenced Pelosi to one year of probation and banned him from driving for six months – the maximum period allowed.
The court also ordered Pelosi to complete a 10-day work plan and pay a fine. As part of the plea agreement, Pelosi paid approximately $11,200 in restitution to the owner of the damaged vehicle.
In the crash, his brown Maserati convertible collided with a Tesla that had no driver behind the wheel, according to a criminal complaint filed in July.
Police said at the time that witnesses saw the convertible stop briefly before driving off. The parked car was unoccupied and no injuries were reported.
Prosecutors said they typically do not issue news releases about misdemeanor hit-and-run cases involving only property damage, but the release was prompted by public interest in the case.
A review of court records by The New York Times found that in the more than a decade before the Yountville crash, Paul Pelosi had been issued at least eight driving violations, including speeding, running multiple red lights and driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
In 2022, he pleaded guilty to a drink-driving charge after he crashed his Porsche into an oncoming Jeep. He was fined, jailed for five days and suspended for three years.
