Napa County hit-and-run case involving Paul Pelosi under review for possible misdemeanor charges

Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, was involved in a hit-and-run in Yountville, Napa County, California, after allegedly striking a legally parked car, briefly stopping, then driving away; there were no injuries. Deputies later found Pelosi’s car with severe front-end damage about a quarter-mile away. He was not arrested, and authorities say the incident could lead to a misdemeanor charge for fleeing the scene, with the California DMV determining his continued ability to drive—an ordinary step for older drivers. Pelosi has a prior DUI conviction in 2022, for which he served a short jail term and probation. The episode follows a separate 2022 assault on the Pelosi home.
