Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, pleaded no contest Tuesday to a hit-and-run charge from July and the Californian will have his driving privileges suspended for six months.

The Napa County District Attorney's Office said Pelosi reached a plea agreement with prosecutors and was sentenced to one year of summary probation along with the loss of driving privileges. 

The Californian was also ordered to complete a 10-day work program, and he paid $11,191.14 in restitution to the owner of the vehicle he hit.

The plea stems from a July incident in which the 86-year-old crashed his brown Maserati GranCabrio into an unoccupied parked vehicle, then fled the scene without providing information, as required by law. 

He was charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run and infraction of making an unlawful turn in connection with the July 3 crash in Yountville. There were no allegations that drugs or alcohol were involved, and Pelosi was not arrested.
