Fox News reports that officials are not sharing any footage of the arrest because it could “jeopardize” an investigation.
The California Highway Patrol denied a public documents request for bodycam and dashcam footage on Thursday.
According to Fox News, CHP stated, “The Public Records Unit (PRU) has determined the Department possesses records responsive to your request,”
“However, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office has advised the release of records would jeopardize an ongoing investigation. As such, records are being withheld pursuant to Government Code section 6254 (f).”

Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley said on Thursday that Paul Pelosi will appear on Aug. 3 in Napa County Superior Court. If criminal charges are filed, they would be formally presented then.
“The case is currently under review to decide what, if any, charges will be filed against Mr. Pelosi,” Haley said. “This is standard protocol for any DUI case that is referred by a law enforcement agency in Napa County.”
