We reported that Paul Pelosi was taken into custody Saturday by Nancy Pelosi (D.CA) for driving while impaired in California.
The truth is that the story was not all that simple. The police say that he was driving a Porsche, and had been involved in an accident with another vehicle before his arrest.

Paul Pelosi, 82, was attempting to cross in Napa County’s State Route-29 in a 2021 Porsche late Saturday when he was in a collision with a 48-year-old man driving a 2014 Jeep, the California Highway Patrol said.
CNN stated that neither the driver or passenger were injured and the police report did not indicate who was at fault.
The Jeep driver was not taken into custody, but Pelosi was arrested at 11:44 pm and booked in the Napa County Detention Center records indicate.
It’s not clear why if he was busted at 11:44 p.m. on Saturday that he wasn’t booked until 4:13 a.m., according to the report. Was there a problem of some sort that hasn’t been explained yet?

Pelosi was charged for driving while under the influence and driving when her blood alcohol level is 0.08 or greater.
A few hours later, at 7:26 am, he was freed on $5000 bail.
Nancy Pelosi’s spokesperson issued a statement about her husband’s arrest. “The Speaker would not be commenting on this private matter which occurred while she was on the East Coast.” Pelosi was in Rhode Island on Sunday to speak at the Brown University commencement.
As the story unfolds, it becomes more complicated. While the information doesn’t say who was at fault yet, it’s very problematic to be driving while allegedly drunk. You’re not only endangering yourself but you’re endangering others. He’s lucky that he wasn’t injured and that he didn’t injure anyone else. He was driving in such a condition, what was the point of it?
Yes, I’m sure Nancy Pelosi who is not silent about anything else and who has a lot to say about other people wants it to be a “private matter.” Except when it’s a public arrest, it ceases to be a private matter.
While the Speaker was essentially begging for a bit of indulgence that her husband’s arrest be treated as a “private matter,” she was busy spreading discord and disinformation to the Brown graduates, trying to smear her political opponents.
“In the months since the insurrection, we’ve seen further assaults on democracy,” Pelosi said. “Shameful campaigns of voter suppression and election nullification. A Supreme Court poised to erase a woman’s right to decide and threaten even more privacy rights, including marriage equality. We can’t let that happen.”
