Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run count after authorities allege he struck a parked car and drove away from the scene earlier this month in Northern California, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office announced Friday.
Pelosi, 86, is accused of striking a vehicle on July 3 that was parked on the side of the roadway in Yountville. The vehicle was unoccupied but was left with major rear damage, according to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office. Yountville is located about 50 miles north of San Francisco.
Pelosi has also been charged with an infraction of making an unlawful turn, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley said in a Friday press release.
The D.A.’s office explained that it does not typically issue press releases regarding misdemeanor hit-and-run cases that only involve property damage. However, it said it decided to break that norm because of the significant public and media interest surrounding this case.
According to the criminal complaint, the car Pelosi was driving at the time of the hit-and-run was a 2025 Maserati GranCabrio convertible.
His court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 14, officials said.
In a previous July 4 statement provided to CBS News, a spokesperson for the Pelosi family said: “Mr. Paul Pelosi has personally apologized to the owner of the vehicle and assured them that he would take responsibility for the damage to their vehicle. Speaker Pelosi will not be commenting further on this private matter.”
In October 2022, Paul Pelosi was the victim of a violent break-in and politically-motivated attack in the couple’s San Francisco home.
