Paul Pelosi booted from police group whose card he flashed during DUI arrest

FIRST ON FOX: A California law enforcement association revoked Paul Pelosi's lifetime membership, saying his conduct during his May DUI arrest "reflected poorly" on the group.
The California Highway Patrol 11-99 (CHP 11-99) Foundation informed Pelosi of his termination in a letter Wednesday, the group said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. The group requested in the letter that he return all CHP 11-99 membership items that he currently possesses.
"After evaluating the events that lead to Mr. Pelosi’s arrest and conviction, we are revoking Mr. Pelosi’s lifetime membership with the CHP 11-99 Foundation effective immediately," the foundation's board and staff said in a statement Thursday.
"The mere presentation of his 11-99 Foundation identification credentials to law enforcement made it appear that he was presenting them for preferential treatment whether that was the case or not which violates the terms and conditions he agreed to on his membership application," the organization's statement continued.
"These actions reflected poorly on the 11-99 Foundation and undermined our important mission," it added.
Pelosi, who is married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was arrested on the evening of May 28 after he was involved in a car accident injuring another driver. Court documents showed that he flashed his CHP 11-99 membership card when responding highway patrol officers arrived to the scene.
Fox News Digital was first to report that police alleged Pelosi handed officers a CHP 11-99 Foundation card when they asked for his ID.
