House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband pleaded guilty to a DUI charge in Northern California on Tuesday and was sentenced to five days in jail, authorities said.
Paul Pelosi, 82, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
He was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation stemming from a May 28 crash in Napa County, north of San Francisco.
The DUI misdemeanor did not require the defendant’s presence unless ordered by the judge and Pelosi “was not ordered by the court to personally appear,” according to the DA’s statement.
A blood sample taken after the collision showed Pelosi had a blood alcohol content of 0.082%, prosecutors had said. The legal limit in California is 0.08%.
Amanda Bevins, attorney for Pelosi, declined to comment to NBC News.
