NAPA COUNTY \u2014 A driver who hit a parked car in Napa County and then drove away is suspected to be Paul Pelosi, the husband of former U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The incident happened Friday about 2:30 p.m. in the 6700 block of Yount Street in unincorporated Napa County. Nobody was injured.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Napa County Sheriff\u2019s Office said Paul Pelosi, 86, was behind the wheel in a brown convertible traveling north on Yount Street when it crashed into the unoccupied car. He then kept going, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Deputies did not arrest him, which the sheriff\u2019s office said is in accordance with state misdemeanor law. They added that a preliminary alcohol screening showed that Pelosi with a 0.00 blood-alcohol level and that suspicions of driving under the influence were ruled out.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office said it will submit a case for misdemeanor hit-and-run to the Napa County District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The vehicle Pelosi is suspected of hitting sustained major rear damage, and the front right tire was forced onto the curb, authorities said. They added that a witness told them that after hitting the car, the driver stopped for a moment, then drove away. That witness also provided a description of the driver\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n

A bit later, deputies spotted a California Highway Patrol vehicle parked behind a brown convertible that was partially blocking Yountville Cross Road in Yountville.<\/p>\n

Deputies identified Pelosi with his driver\u2019s license, and his car had significant damage to its right front end consistent with the crash on Yount Street, the sheriff\u2019s office said. They added that Pelosi admitted to hitting something but that he didn\u2019t know what he\u2019d hit, so he kept driving.<\/p>\n

Pelosi drove until the car became disabled, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Authorities will submit a California Department of Motor Vehicles re-evaluation form to the DMV, a procedure they called a common occurrence for elderly drivers involved in incidents.<\/p>\n

In May 2023, Paul Pelosi was arrested after a crash near Yountville. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence and was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation.<\/p>\n
