The husband of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been arrested and charged with driving an impaired vehicle after a confrontation on Saturday night.

According to Napa County records, California Democrat Paul Pelosi was arrested Saturday at 11:44 p.m.

He was booked once on Sunday at 4 am for drunk driving and driving a car with an alcohol content of 0.08 or higher.

Both charges are in violation. Bail for her was set at $5,000 and she was released Sunday morning. TMZ first reported her arrest.

According to California highway and court records, Pelosi, 82, was driving a 2021 Porsche that collided with a jeep while attempting to drive on a state highway in Napa County, California.

Authorities did not share Peros’ blood levels.

No one was injured in the crash and no other drivers were arrested.

After the wife was released from detention, a spokeswoman released a statement that she was not with her husband at the time of the incident.

“The speaker does not comment on this personal matter that arose during his stay on the East Coast,” spokesman Drew Hamil said in writing.

Nancy Pelosi was in Rhode Island on Sunday. There she earned an honorary degree from Brown University and delivered her opening remarks to the university’s graduating class of 2022.

Her husband owns and manages Financial Leasing Services Inc., a San Francisco-based real estate company. The couple, who live in San Francisco, California, met at Georgetown University and have been married since 1963.
