In the freshly revealed footage, Paul Pelosi, 82, is heard spitting his words as police question him over his level of intoxication and direct him through sobriety tests. Pelosi pleaded guilty to one charge of DUI on Tuesday in exchange for a five-day prison sentence and additional penalties.
However, Pelosi has already served two days, received credit for two additional days, and will engage in a work program for the rest of the time, Politico reported.
Dashcam footage collected by the Washington Examiner showed Pelosi telling an officer on the scene that he drank a glass of champagne and a glass of wine that night. One of the officers noted that Pelosi was grasping the patrol vehicle to maintain his balance.
