Pelosi described how his car had spun when hit by a white Jeep driven by Jesus Lopez, 48, of Calistoga, California, and how he had lost control.
Perez said Pelosi was able to get out of the car unaided but appeared ‘unsteady’ on his feet when asked to walk a few steps to collect his insurance papers.
Cops then asked Pelosi whether he had been drinking and what he had last eaten, with the 82-year-old saying he had enjoyed a meal of pork chops and salad, followed by a dessert during dinner with friends living nearby.
He also admitted to having drank a glass of champagne before eating and having another glass of wine with dinner.
Pelosi was also asked for his license and handed it over with his ’11-99 Foundation care’ tucked underneath. The 11—99 Foundation provides emergency assistance to CHP employees and scholarships for their children.
Officer Perez noted he handed the card straight back to Pelosi but kept hold of his license.

After having blood taken, he was transported to Queen of the Valley hospital for medical treatment before being brought back to the jail where he complained of wrist pain due to the cuffs
The driver of the Jeep, Lopez, was left with minor injuries and has declined to speak about the case, later invoking California’s Marsy’s Law which protects the privacy rights of the victim and also allows them to pursue restitution from the person who harmed them if convicted
Pelosi also told officers he takes ‘half a dozen’ types of medication, among them statins which lower cholesterol and uloric which is given to people suffering from gout.
According to Officer Perez, Pelosi had to hold his shoulder for the walk to his patrol car for sobriety tests where he ‘visibly swayed’ during a balance test and was forced to clutch on to the patrol car during a one-leg test.
After failing the tests, Pelosi agreed to a blood test before being double handcuffed and taken to Napa County Jail where Perez left him seated on a bench in a briefing room with one hand cuffed to his seat.

He was then booked and released.
Pelosi was sentenced to five days in the Napa County Jail but was let off with time served due to the six hours he spent there on the night of his arrest.
Under California law, the six hours counted as two days because they took place on either side of midnight, while two of the days were removed due to good conduct. The fifth day will be spent doing community service.
