There has been a lot of alt right lying about what happened to Paul Pelosi, but the truth is far more boring.
Pelosi had a blood alcohol reading of 0.082%, which is just barely above 0.08%. Had he fought the reading, there is a real chance he could have gotten it thrown out. He was not falling down drunk, he was buzzed. He should not have been driving, and he admitted that. Rather than use his wealth and contacts to get out of it, he plead guilty.
He was sentenced to 5 days in jail and 3 years probation. That is a little harsher than usual, but basically standard. For those who claimed he would use contacts to get out of charges... He is spending time in jail.
