Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor hit-and-run and an unlawful-turn traffic infraction, according to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors say he struck an unoccupied parked vehicle in Yountville on July 3 and left the scene. Under a plea deal, Judge Scott R.L. Young imposed six months of driving prohibition, one year of probation and a 10-day work program. Pelosi, 86, paid $11,191.14 in restitution to the vehicle’s owner and must report for booking by Nov. 20. Outlets note a 2022 DUI conviction in the same period of his driving history.
