Paul Pelosi, the husband of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was found to have drugs in his system during his drink-driving arrest in May, Fox News reported on Tuesday, citing a court document. Paul Pelosi was slurring and unsteady on his feet as he spoke to police officers and tried to show them a membership card for a foundation that has long provided money to local police officers and their children. According to Fox News, the Napa County District Attorney's Office in California said on Monday that Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, will be arraigned on Wednesday morning. The charges are driving under the influence and causing injury while driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher. The district attorney said the misdemeanor charges against Paul Pelosi were filed "based on the extent of the injuries sustained by the victims." Us media said that either Paul Pelosi or his lawyer would enter a plea at his arraignment on Wednesday. According to the Napa County District Attorney's Office, misdemeanor penalties for driving while intoxicated and causing injury include up to five years of probation, a minimum of five days in jail, a fine, completion of a court-ordered DUI course, and more.
