Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was formally charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run Friday following an incident earlier this month, according to authorities.
The Napa County District Attorney’s Office announced the filing Friday, charging Pelosi, 86, with misdemeanor hit-and-run and an infraction for unsafe turning movement stemming from a July 3 incident.
According to the criminal complaint, Pelosi allegedly damaged a parked Tesla before leaving the scene without attempting to identify the vehicle’s owner or leave the information required under California law.
Deputies later located Pelosi roughly a half-mile away, where he allegedly told officers he had intended to return to the scene.
The complaint alleges Pelosi made an unsafe turning movement before colliding with the parked vehicle, resulting in property damage.
Prosecutors contend those actions formed the basis for both the misdemeanor charge and the accompanying traffic infraction.
