SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) – Napa County officials have released Paul Pelosi's booking photo more than two weeks after his much-publicized DUI arrest.

The mugshot was taken at 4:30 a.m. on May 29 at the Napa County Department of Corrections.
Despite media requests, the picture was not made available until Monday.
In a news release, Napa County officials clarified "the decision to release or withhold mugshots or booking photos lies with the Napa County Department of Corrections, not the District Attorney's Office," a policy that can vary by jurisdiction. Pelosi – husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – "received the same treatment under that policy that all individuals released from County Jail receive," officials explained.
Pelosi, 82, was arrested the night of May 28 for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a .08% blood alcohol content or higher. The arrest on May 29 reportedly came after Pelosi's Porsche was hit by another vehicle near Yountville.
The case has been the subject of many headlines.
Last week, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley released a statement refuting unverified speculation that the case would soon be dropped – fueled via multiple social media posts by the former president's son.
Pelosi is scheduled to appear in a Napa County court on Aug. 3.
