Update: Paul Pelosi was allegedly involved in a two-vehicle car crash the night of his arrest, TMZ reported Monday.
Paul Pelosi, the husband of Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, was reportedly arrested Saturday night in Napa County after allegedly being involved in a two-vehicle crash.
Pelosi, 82, was arrested around 11:45 p.m. and later taken to Napa County Detention Center for one count of allegedly driving under the influence and one count of allegedly driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher, which are both misdemeanors in the state of California, TMZ reported.
