According to jail records and sources, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Paul Pelosi was detained and charged with driving under alcohol on Saturday night.

According to Napa County records, Pelosi was booked into jail at 4:13 a.m. local time on Sunday and released at 7:26 a.m. According to the papers, which contained his exact date of birth, his bond was set at $5,000.

According to the public booking report, Pelosi is charged with breaching two provisions of Vehicle Code section 23152. He was accused of driving under alcohol and having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or higher, and each is a misdemeanor.

Napa County is located in the Bay Area of California, close to San Francisco, which is the area that Speaker Pelosi has represented for decades.

According to a 2015 Los Angeles Times story, Speaker Pelosi and her husband own a vineyard in Napa Valley valued between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000. According to Google satellite imagery, their St. Helena property on Zinfandel Lane is located near the Napa River and includes a tennis court.

A representative for Pelosi's office confirmed that they were aware of the accusations, but they told news outlets that the Democratic congressman would not comment on the event. The Epoch Times has reached out for comment to her office.

"The Speaker will not comment on this matter while she was on the East Coast," the spokeswoman stated.

On Sunday afternoon in Rhode Island, Pelosi delivered a commencement address to Brown University graduates. She has not publicly addressed her husband's arrest.

Other information regarding the incident was not immediately available. Paul Pelosi, who has managed venture capital and investment firms, may or may not have been driving alone when he was arrested.

Since 1963, Nancy and Paul Pelosi have been married. Paul Pelosi has previously stated that he attempts to maintain a low profile.

In 2004, he told the San Francisco Chronicle, "I've made a concerted effort not to be involved in her political career or give the appearance of being involved." People must recognize that she is the one.

First to report on his arrest was the celebrity gossip and entertainment news website TMZ.
