House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) husband, Paul Pelosi, was arrested and charged for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol on Saturday night, according to jail records and reports.
The public booking report said Pelosi faces a charge of violating two provisions under California's Vehicle Code Section 23152. He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and was also charged with having a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or more. Both are misdemeanors.
Napa County is located in California's Bay Area and is near San Francisco, the district that Speaker Pelosi has represented for decades.
A spokesperson for Pelosi's office confirmed that it was aware of the reports, but they told news outlets that the Democrat congresswoman won't be commenting on the incident. The Epoch Times has contacted her office for comment.
"The Speaker will not be commenting on this private matter which occurred while she was on the East Coast," the spokesperson said.
Pelosi was in Rhode Island on Sunday afternoon and gave a commencement address to graduates of Brown University. She has not made any public mention of her husband's arrest.
Other details surrounding the incident were not immediately made available. It’s unclear if Paul Pelosi, who has run venture capital and investment firms, was driving alone when he was arrested.
Nancy and Paul Pelosi have been married since 1963. Paul Pelosi has previously said he's tried to keep a low profile.
