Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, facing hit and run charge in Napa Co. crash

YOUNTVILLE, Calif. (KGO) -- Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, is facing a hit and run charge for a crash in Yountville, Napa County Sheriff's Deputies announced Saturday.

Paul Pelosi, 86, is accused is hitting a parked car, briefly stopping, then driving away.

Sheriff deputies responded to a report of a hit and run around 2:30 p.m. Friday along the 6700 block of Yount Street.

Sheriff deputies said a witness called 911 and said a brown convertible drove north of Yount Street, hitting an unoccupied parked car. That car sustained major rear damage, and the front right tire was forced onto the curb, authorities said.

The witness told authorities where Pelosi went, and a short time later, the California Highway Patrol stopped Pelosi's car, at Yountville Cross Road, Napa sheriff's said.

Pelosi's car had significant damage to the front right side.

Pelosi admitted to Napa County sheriffs to hitting something, but did not know what he had hit, so "he kept driving."

Napa County authorities said he is no longer driving.

During the investigation, authorities said alcohol does not appear to be a factor since he registered a .00 on the Preliminary Alcohol Screening Device.

Paul Pelosi was not arrested.

The Napa County Sheriff's Office said it will be referring the case to the Napa District Attorney's Office for review and prosecution.
