NAPA, Calif., July 5 (Sonoma Times) — Napa County sheriff’s deputies referred a hit-and-run case involving Paul Pelosi, 86, to the district attorney after investigators said he struck a legally parked car in Yountville on July 3 and drove away, according to the sheriff’s office.
The sheriff’s office said a preliminary alcohol screening test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.00, and DUI was ruled out. No injuries were reported.
Deputies did not arrest Pelosi, saying that is common for misdemeanor offenses under California Penal Code section 853.6, according to the statement. The case was sent to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office for review, and a California DMV re-evaluation referral was said to be forthcoming.
The referral follows a June 2022 case in which the Napa County District Attorney’s Office filed misdemeanor DUI-with-injury charges against Pelosi after a May 2022 collision in the county. In that case, the office said a blood sample showed a .082% blood alcohol content and that Pelosi was released pending an August 2022 arraignment in Napa County Superior Court.
