Judge's gavel. File photoWASHINGTON, Aug 23 A court in California has sentenced Paul Pelosi, wife of Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, to one day of hard labor and a fine for driving while intoxicated in an accident. On Tuesday of the meeting, the judge sentenced Paul Pelosi to five days in prison, compensation and a fine of about 6.8 thousand dollars, three years of probation, and eight hours of work in court. Given the time already spent in custody and Pelosi's good behavior, the judge agreed to compensate for the jail time with eight hours of court work. In addition, the speaker's spouse will be required to attend a three-month course on the dangers of drunk driving, and his car will be equipped with a special device to test the driver's breath for alcohol. The case against 82-year-old Paul Pelosi was initiated after an accident that occurred last May where his new Porsche collided with a Jeep. It was reported that police officers who arrived at the scene of the accident recorded Pelosi's blood alcohol level exceeding the legal limit. Neither Pelosi nor the driver of the Jeep were seriously injured, however, Pelosi was charged on two counts — an accident resulting in injuries and drunk driving, resulting in to injuries. At the time of the trial, Pelosi, who paid bail in the amount of $ 5,000, remained at large. It was previously reported that Pelosi could face a sentence of up to 5 days in prison and 5 years of probation.
