Nancy Pelosi's Husband Paul Pelosi Gets 5 Days in Jail for Drunk Driving Leading to Car Crash

Paul Pelosi, the 82-year-old husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was sentenced Tuesday to five days in jail for drunk driving related to a car crash in California in May.

However, the Los Angeles Times reported that Paul will not be receiving any jail time because he has already served two days in jail.

Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said Nancy's husband has also received a conduct credit for two other days. Regarding the remaining day in jail, the judge has ordered him to spend the day through a court work program.

As the court work program converts the one day in jail, Paul's lawyer said his client must render eight hours of community service. According to Crime Online, Paul Pelosi was also sentenced to three years of probation.
