He received three years probation with no further jail time per court documents.
When asked by police for identification, Paul Pelosi presented his driver’s licence and the membership card. According to the Post investigation, this was a criminal case.
The California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation (CHP 11-99 Foundation) issued a statement Thursday saying it had evaluated what led up to Paul Pelosi’s arrest and conviction.
The organization said, “We are revoking Mr. Pelosi’s lifetime membership with the CHP 11-99 Foundation effective immediately,” adding it sent a letter to inform him:
The mere presentation of his 11-99 Foundation identification credentials to law enforcement made it appear that he was presenting them for preferential treatment whether that was the case or not which violates the terms and conditions he agreed to on his membership application.
These actions reflected poorly on the 11-99 Foundation and undermined our important mission. In our letter to Mr. Pelosi, we requested that he return all membership items he was issued upon joining the 11-99 Foundation. We will return all items he donated once we have received them. For any termination of membership, this is how we do it.
“Paul Pelosi was involved in a two-vehicle car crash about an hour before being arrested for driving under the influence on May 28,” according to Breitbart News.
The outlet reported that the man was slurring his speech and had red, watery and impaired vision when he was arrested.
But, prosecutors “walked back” the “boilerplate drug allegation” in his complaint, according to a Breitbart News article.
Dashcam footage of Paul Pelosi’s DUI arrest showed him standing on the side of the road with officers:
“Are you able to balance your weight on one foot? An officer asked. The clip shows the man holding onto his vehicle while they stood close to the road.
