Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul is finally seen in his glassy-eyed mugshot

It’s the photo they tried to hide, but DailyMail.com has obtained the mug shot of shame-faced Paul Pelosi after he was arrested on DUI charges last month. Pelosi, 82, was collared by California Highway Patrol officers in Oakville, California, on May 28 after he blew through a stop sign in his 2021 Porsche and hit a Jeep. The mugshot (left), which shows Pelosi wearing a neat brown suit and collared shirt, would have been taken shortly after the late-night incident.

Pelosi, who had a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, is scheduled to appear in court over the incident on August 3. Napa County DA Allison Haley said last week that she has still not decided whether to bring charges, telling Fox News that he will be arraigned at the hearing if she does file charges. 

In a statement, she said: ‘The case is currently under review to decide what, if any, charges will be filed against Mr. Pelosi. ‘This is standard protocol for any DUI case that is referred by a law enforcement agency in Napa County.’ She added: ‘No decision has been made at this time. Any speculation to the contrary is incorrect. When a filing decision is made by the Napa County District Attorney, the media and public will be notified.’ 

Businessman Pelosi, who is married to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, also 82, had been at a dinner with friends prior to the crash and was driving back to the couple’s palatial vineyard home in nearby St. Helena. At the time of the incident, he was attempting to cross State Road 29 – a busy highway that connects Napa and Calistoga – when he slammed into a 2014 J eep driven by Jesus Lopez, 48 (pictured). 

Although neither man was badly hurt, CHP sources told DailyMail.com that both cars were written off in the smash.

DailyMail.com photos show how the two vehicles came to rest at the intersection of Walnut Lane and S-29 – just short of the Oakville general store. Damage caused by the crash was still visible 48 hours after the accident (pictured), including a parking sign that had been knocked down and injury to the fence surrounding a vineyard.

The new development comes after DailyMail.com revealed Pelosi has a history of driving incidents and was involved in a smash that killed his brother David when he was 16. According to a 1957 report in the San Francisco Examiner, Pelosi, who was then a high school sophomore, had collected David, 19, from the home of a girlfriend at 12.30am and the brothers had decided to take a ‘joy ride’. 

The fatal crash happened shortly after 2.40am close to the Crystal Springs Dam just outside of San Mateo and left David trapped under the car where he was throttled by his neck brace. Although a coroner’s jury later dismissed manslaughter charges against Pelosi, a patrolman quoted in contemporary news reports said David had told his brother to slow down seconds before the crash. 

He said: ‘This is a bad stretch – better slow down,’ as they approached a tight curve near the Crystal Springs Dam (pictured) on the Skyline Highway – now California State Route 35. Paul told Patrolman Thomas Ganley he tried to slow by shifting gears in the stick shift car, but lost control. ‘The car veered across the road, bounced back from a small embankment, climbed 20 feet up another, spun around and somersaulted simultaneously and ended upside down on the shoulder with both youths underneath,’ reported the Examiner. 

David, a freshman at the College of San Mateo, was dead on arrival at the hospital. The newspaper said David was probably strangled by a brace he wore to support a neck fracture he had sustained when he dived into shallow water in Lake Tahoe. The San Mateo Times reported that Ganley and another patrolman Jack Rakestraw noted that David’s brace was ‘lodged tightly against his neck.’ ‘They jacked up the car to relieve the pressure but the youth apparently was already dead,’ the Times reported. Pelosi broke his collarbone in the crash and was trapped under the car for a while. He managed to free himself and call for aid. He is pictured taking selfies of himself and wife Nancy at the 2010 World Series in San Francisco.

More recently, Pelosi has been cited twice- both times in 2011 – once for running a red light and once for veering over the center line while driving. The fatal accident happened six years before Paul married Nancy D’Alesandro, the daughter of a former Baltimore mayor. She took his last name and went on to be elected to Congress in 1987 and then became the first female Speaker of the House of Representatives. They’re pictured on their wedding day in September 1963.
