Paul Pelosi

The court documents about Paul Pelosi's arrest have been released as Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid a controversial visit to the island of Taiwan.

Nancy Pelosi is expected to leave the island on Wednesday. The other driver was identified only as John Doe (a placeholder name used when the true name of a person is unknown or is being concealed). The DUI report alleges that Paul Pelosi handed officers his license along with an 11-99 Foundation card. Officers transported Pelosi to a CHP office in Napa where a sample of his blood was taken and it was later determined that his blood alcohol level was 0.082. According to the California DMV, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or above. A two-charge criminal complaint filed in California's Superior Court in Napa County alleges that Pelosi injured John Doe "while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and a drug and under their combined influence." The DUI report alleges that Pelosi's eyes were "red/watery" and he was "unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath."

If convicted, he faces five days in jail and up to five years of probation. Paul Pelosi, 82, did not appear in person Wednesday at Napa County Superior Court. His attorney Amanda Bevins entered not guilty pleas for him on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and driving with a 0.08% blood alcohol level or higher causing injury. The husband of U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi pleaded not guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence related to a May car crash in Napa County.

Paul Pelosi, the multimillionaire husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was arraigned on a DUI charge without attending the Napa County court hearing.

He also complained of headaches and said it was difficult to lift things with his right arm, according to the documents. The 11-99 Foundation is a California Highway Patrol charity that supports officers and provides scholarships for their children. The arraignment comes a day after Pelosi's wife, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, rattled U.S.-China relations with a trip to Taiwan, which Beijing considers part of its territory. "As always, he does not discuss these matters with the Speaker until trades have been made and required disclosures must be prepared and filed." Other punishments could include fines and fees and a court-ordered "drinking driver class." A lawyer for Paul Pelosi, the multimillionaire husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, appeared on his behalf in a Napa County, California, court for his arraignment on DUI charges Wednesday morning.

He would also be required to complete a class on drunk driving and install an ignition interlock device in his vehicle — a breathalyzer that requires the driver to blow into it before operating the vehicle, according to the case’s prosecutors.

The incident happened while the Speaker was preparing a commencement speech in Rhode Island for Brown University.
