Paul Pelosi, 82, pleaded guilty to one charge of DUI and has been sentenced to three years of probation and five days in jail, with credit for time served, according to the records. He will also need to do eight hours of a court work program, participate in a drinking-and-driving course that will last for three months, use an ignition interlock device for a year, and pay $150, according to TMZ.
On May 28, Pelosi crashed his Porsche into a Jeep near Yountville, California. According to authorities, he failed his sobriety test and was not steady while being taken into custody. Afterward, it was discovered that his blood alcohol content level was 0.082%.

He is an elderly person. There could have been some interaction with prescription drugs, adult beverages and food.
And poor eyesight....
Lots more info at the DM. Draw your own conclusions...
$150.00 is quite a bit more than $10.000. :-) Seriously, for a first time DUI, even with an accident, there's no way the fine would be anywhere close to $10k. As for insurance, that's totally outside of the court system. His insurance premiums will certainly increase, though given his wealth I'm sure he couldn't care less about that.
That was a couple hours after the accident. The dash cam of him doing the field sobriety test clearly shows that he was polluted. He could barely stand up without leaning on the patrol car.
FTA: and five days in jail, with credit for time served
What time did he serve?
Is it the hours he took to sober up?
Where is the interview of the victim?
Did he get lots of money from Pelosi?
Did they threaten the victim?
there’s no way the fine would be anywhere close to $10k.
I had a coworker who was busted for a DUI here in Los Angeles her fine was $12.000 with attorney fees she lost her insurance and had to go into a high risk and payment program.
You may want to check up on things before for jump the gun.
Yep different articles never the same
I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I said there is no way the fine would be $10k for a first-time DWI. I didn't say the fine couldn't be $10k for a DWI. Multiple DWIs and an accident with injury could result in a very high fine. What happened to your friend is irrelevant to this discussion without knowing the circumstances.
He was hammered, .08 BAC after a two hour wait, meaning he was closer to .12 at the time of the crash. Two glasses of wine my A*s.
No way the fine would be $10k for a first-time DWI.
DUI’s cost range on many issue involved.
1.Pull over
2.property damage
3.Someone hurt in accident (felony)
4.Resisting
Your comprehension on issues are limited you better learn how to read more it’s part of growing up.
I’m a lawyer having quite a bit of experience with these issues, I’m guessing you are not.
The few people I know who got DUI in CA spent over 5k in fines.
On another note, a bit of a nothing special Porsche he is driving around.
Looks like a total write off based on accident.
If your a lawyer your shingle must read Loopholes done dirt cheap thanks for the warning.
Here is a link to the DUI statute in California:
Here is a link to the California statute specifying penalties for DUI in California:
What are the penalties for DUI in California?
Assuming you can read and are sober enough to read, you will see that the maximum allowable fine for a first DUI in California is $1,000.
When you learn to read and and/or are sober enough to read please report back.
LOL I’ll do your work for you
Wow helped you it only took you two days to fine some info some lawyer you are hungry are you.
End of transmission.
Did they find the bimbo that was with him in the crash who ran off?
[Why would an ‘empty’ passenger seat air bag deploy if there was no one in it?]
Might have been a male bimbo.
Possible. But methinks it was a BIG busted blonde bimbo with luscious curves and NO wrinkles.....
Probably a couple bottles of Viagra/Cialis in the glove box...
