Earlier this month, Paul Pelosi pleaded not guilty to DUI charges related to a crash he was involved with in May in Northern California.
He was reportedly booked on āone count of driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and one count of driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher causing injury,ā as The Washington Post reported.
On Tuesday, Paul Pelosi pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, as IJR reported.
Judge Joseph Solga handed him a sentence of five days in jail.
Still, he will reportedly āreceive credit for two days already served and two days for conduct credit.ā
Fox News host Jesse Watters suggested during his monologue reacting to the footage that it is āobvious to anyone with two eyes this is not a misdemeanor. This is a felony. The cops admitted how serious it was on the tape theyāve been hiding. They told Paul he was lucky to be alive.ā
