A mugshot of Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), has been released after he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence in California last month.
Paul Pelosi, 82, was booked at Napa County jail on suspicion of driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher on May 29 and was released several hours later. He is expected to appear in Napa County Superior Court at 8:30 a.m. PST on Aug. 3, the county district attorney’s office said last Thursday.

“This is standard protocol for any DUI case that is referred by a law enforcement agency in Napa County,” the DA’s office wrote.
Fox News previously reported that it filed a public records request for the mug shot and body camera footage, which was denied because the DA’s office determined the release of the records would “jeopardize an ongoing investigation,” the California Highway Patrol said.
“The case pretty much has been buried from the public. There’s been no release of Poppa Paulie’s mug shot. Every attempt has been stonewalled by California officials,” Fox News host Jesse Watters said in a segment last Friday.

Paul Pelosi was arrested after he was involved in a two-car collision on state Route 29, near Yountville. He was driving his Porsche when it was hit by a Jeep as Paul Pelosi tried to cross the road, as reported by CBS News. No one was injured in the incident.
Nancy Pelosi was on the East Coast at the time, her office said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
