The husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was charged Thursday with injuring someone in a drunken car crash last month.
Formal charges were filed against Paul Pelosi on Thursday, according to a report on Fox News.
The Napa County District Attorney’s Office has charged Mr. Pelosi with DUI with injury over the May 28 crash, which was initially booked as simple misdemeanor DUI.
According to a press release from the district attorney’s office, Mr. Pelosi had a blood alcohol content level of .082% when a sample was taken about two hours after the crash.
A fashion-section profile in the New York Times earlier this week on “Nancy Pelosi’s Napa” reported that the incident was a two-car crash also involving a Jeep.
The driver of that vehicle was not arrested, the Times reported.
Mr. Pelosi is due in court Aug. 3.
It was not immediately clear who was injured, whether that person was a passenger in Mr. Pelosi’s Porsche or in the Jeep, or what was the extent of the injuries.
