FOG BLOG U.S. NEWS LOG: PAUL PELOSI, HUSBAND OF SPEAKER , NANCY PELOSI ATTACKED WITH HAMMER IN HOME!

Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s husband, attacked at couple’s home Suspect in Paul Pelosi attack expected to be arraigned Tuesday The man alleged to have attacked Paul Pelosi on Friday morning is expected to be arraigned Tuesday, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins tweeted Friday evening.

David DePape is accused of entering Pelosi’s house and hitting him with a hammer.

“We are coordinating closely with federal and local law enforcement partners on this investigation. We will bring forward multiple felony charges on Monday and expect DePape to be arraigned on Tuesday. DePape will be held accountable for his heinous crimes,” she wrote.

San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said the suspect is still in the hospital, as of Friday night, but will be booked into jail on felony charges. Authorities in San Francisco are appealing to the public to provide tips regarding the attack against Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“While an arrest has been made, this remains an open investigation,” the San Francisco Police Department said in a statement.

Anyone with information is asked to call the SFPD Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444. People can also text TIP411 and begin a message with the police department, the statement said.

“You may remain anonymous,” police said. San Francisco Police Chief William Scott praised the quick-thinking dispatcher who sent police officers to the Pelosi home Friday, after the House speaker’s husband made a surreptitious 911 call.

“When you have an experienced dispatcher with good instincts, they learn how to read between the lines,” Scott told reporters.

The dispatcher in question got a call from Paul Pelosi, who managed to leave the line open while he confronted an intruder in his home.

Pelosi was talking in code, a law enforcement source told CNN earlier today, providing enough detail that the operator could understand something was wrong. At the same time, Pelosi tried not to make it evident that he had an open line.

“She knew something more was going on, just in her heart and her intuition, just with her experience,” Scott said. “And that calls for a higher priority than this type of call normally receives. This was a well-being check. And she just knew there was more to it. So she alerted our officers, she went that extra step … and that led to a quicker response.”
