SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor driving under the influence charges related to a May crash in California's wine country and was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation.

Paul Pelosi already served two days in jail and received good conduct credit for two other days, Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said. Paul Pelosi will work eight hours in the court's work program in lieu of the remaining day, Solga said during Paul Pelosi's sentencing, which he did not attend.

State law allows for DUI misdemeanor defendants to appear through their attorney unless ordered otherwise by the court.

As part of his probation, Paul Pelosi will also be required to attend a three-month drinking driver class, and install an ignition interlock device, where the driver has to provide a breath sample before the engine will start. He will also have to pay about $5,000 in victim restitution for medical bills and lost wages and nearly $2,000 in fines, the judge said.

Paul Pelosi was arrested following a May 28 crash in Napa County, north of San Francisco, after a DUI test showed he had a blood alcohol content of .082%, just over the legal limit.

Officers responding to the crash after 10 p.m. near the wine country town of Yountville said they found Pelosi in the driver’s seat of a 2021 Porsche Carrera and the other driver standing outside a sport utility vehicle, according to the complaint.

California Highway Patrol officers reported that Pelosi was “unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage.”

Pelosi offered to officers his driver’s license along with an “11-99 Foundation” card when asked for identification, the complaint says. The 11-99 Foundation supports CHP employees and their families.

Prosecutors filed the case as a misdemeanor because of injuries to the 48-year-old driver of the SUV. They have declined to identify the driver, saying the person has requested privacy.

In an interview with investigators from the district attorney’s office, the driver reported pain in his upper right arm, right shoulder and neck the day after the crash. He said he also had headaches.

Pelosi was released on $5,000 bail after his arrest.

Speaker Pelosi was in Rhode Island to deliver the commencement address at Brown University at the time. Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Obviously you have mistaken a first offense DUI traffic stop vs a vehicular assault caused by a drunken driver.

Yup, totally different, here they can get 2-5 years.

Again, This is a vehicular assault caused by a drunken driver.  You keep listing the punishment for a first offense DUI traffic stop.  WHY?

A first offense is a misdemeanor.

DUIs Involving Deaths or Injuries

DUIs with injuries. If you injure someone in a DUI accident, you'll generally be facing more severe penalties than you would for a standard DUI. Injury DUIs are "wobblers"—meaning they can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. If charged as a felony, an injury DUI can result in a prison sentence of 16 months to four years. And depending on the defendant's history, fines for an injury DUI can range from $390 to $5,000.

He only spent 5 hours behind bars barely enough time to sober up. Since his stay was on either side of mid night they counted it as two days. Min sentence is for first time offenders with a low blood alcohol level not for people who had high levels and crashed a car.

The only one defending this is mc.  And you just have to ask yourself, why the constant defense of these elite democrats by guys like mc.  Paul Pelosi wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire, yet here his is acting as though Paul is some long lost brother.

More important people to fill our jails than first time offense DUI offenders involved in a small crash.   He didn't leave the scene which would make it much different in my mind.  He also plead guilty which makes a difference as well. 

In the end I don't see this as exceptional preferential treatment.   I call them like I see them.

He didn't leave the scene because his car was wrecked.

He could have left in some manner or another and he did plead guilty.   Don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of the Peolsi's in any way shape or form but I don't see this punishment according to California law as all that unusual for a guy that appears to have been law abiding his whole life.
