A law enforcement association told Fox News that they will review House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul’s membership after reports he showed his member card to officers upon getting arrested in May on a DUI charge.
Paul Pelosi, the drunken millionaire hubby of Nancy Pelosi, is a member of the CHP 11-99 Foundation, which was founded in 1982 to provide emergency assistance to California Highway Patrol employees and scholarships to their children.
According to Fox News, during Paul’s arrest, where reports showed he had slurred speech plus red and watery eyes, Paul Pelosi allegedly handed officers his driver’s license and an “11-99 Foundation” card when he was asked for identification, prompting the law enforcement association to investigate.
The foundation confirmed to Fox News any member who brings up the name or property of the foundation during contact with law enforcement violates the group’s terms and conditions agreement.
The foundation stated part of the policy forbids the attempt to use someone’s membership in exchange for “preferential treatment” with police and would result in immediate termination.

A California law enforcement association said Thursday that it would review Paul Pelosi’s membership following reports he flashed his member card to officers during his DUI arrest in May.
The California Highway Patrol 11-99 (CHP 11-99) Foundation confirmed that any member who brings its name or property into law enforcement contact is in violation of the group’s terms and conditions agreement. The foundation noted the part of its policy which states that attempting to use membership in exchange for “preferential treatment” in any contact with police will result in immediate termination.
“We will await the outcome of this trial and will evaluate Mr. Pelosi’s membership status once we have all of the facts,” Laura Reed, a spokesperson for the group, told Fox News Digital in an email. “If it is proven he violated our terms and conditions, we will revoke his membership and we would request that all membership items be returned as they are property of the 11-99 Foundation.”
“Once we receive those items, we would issue a refund of any contribution he’s made to the Foundation,” she continued.
Reed added that the CHP 11-99 Foundation was aware of the media reports, but said the incident involving Pelosi was an ongoing investigation and the foundation didn’t yet have all the facts.
Pelosi pleaded not guilty to the charges during a Wednesday arraignment at the Napa County Superior Court, where his attorney Amanda Bevins entered the not-guilty pleas on his behalf.
A settlement is scheduled for August 23.
