Prosecutors in Napa County charged Paul Pelosi, Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, with a misdemeanor hit-and-run Friday after he was involved in a crash in Northern California earlier this month.

He faces one misdemeanor charge for being involved in a collision and not stopping to provide information, which carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine or six months in county jail, or both. He also faces a lesser charge for making an unlawful turn.
Pelosi is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 14.
According to the criminal complaint, Paul Pelosi allegedly damaged a parked Tesla and didn’t attempt to identify the vehicle’s owner or leave his information.
He was located by deputies a half-mile away and said to them he planned on returning to the scene.
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.
