He reportedly told officers he knew he hit something but was not sure when or what caused the damage.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi, 86, did not have any alcohol in his system, according to the statement. The sheriff&#8217;s office referred him to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a process to determine whether he may continue to drive \u2014 something that officials say is common for older drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi was not arrested, and because no one was injured, the sheriff&#8217;s office recommended a misdemeanor charge for fleeing the scene of an accident.<\/p>\n<p>A staffer for Nancy Pelosi did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Pelosi pleaded guilty in 2022 to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence in Napa County and was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation. However, he served only two days in jail and received good conduct credit for two other days, leaving just one day to serve in a work program at the courthouse.<\/p>\n<p>As part of his probation, Pelosi was required to attend a three-month drinking driver class and install an ignition interlock device, which forces drivers to provide a breath sample to prove sobriety before the engine will start. He also was ordered to pay about $5,000 in victim restitution for medical bills and lost wages, along with nearly $2,000 in fines.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-secondary-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap secondary\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<aside id=\"mid-story-recommendations-mount-piano\" class=\"mid-story-recommendations-mount-piano\" aria-label=\"recommended stories\"\/>\n<!-- END ID=\"MID-STORY-RECOMMENDATIONS-MOUNT-PIANO\" CLASS=\"MID-STORY-RECOMMENDATIONS-MOUNT-PIANO\" ARIA-LABEL=\"RECOMMENDED STORIES\" --><\/p>\n<p>That same year he was attacked and severely beaten with a hammer at the couple&#8217;s San Francisco home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
