Shakopee man who killed Sealy arrested again for DWI

Pat Minelli of our sister paper, the Shakopee Valley News, reports:

A Shakopee man convicted in the alcohol-related crash that killed Timberwolves guard Malik Sealy was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of drunken driving.

Souksangouane Phengsene, 51, was booked into the Hennepin County Jail around 2 a.m. State Patrol spokesman Mark Peterson said Phengsene is likely to face a felony DWI charge.

In May 2000, Phengsene was driving the wrong way on Highway 100 when he hit a vehicle driven by Sealy, who died from injuries suffered in the crash. Phengsene was convicted of vehicular homicide and sentenced to four years in prison.

He also was convicted of drunk driving in Iowa in 1997 and Minnesota in 2006.

4 years for killing somebody, eh? Lucky for him he didn't steal the car, he might have gotten punished...

I got hit by a drunk driver...

I got hit by a drunk driver on the way to work. At 9 a.m. in the morning, the last thing you expect is a drunk to plow you off the road into a guard rail.
She'd had a prior DWI offense.
I was mad she put my life at risk, injured my neck, and totalled my car. But mostly, I thought how lucky I was to be in one piece, and how pathetic she looked stumbling out of her car, failing the field sobriety test.
I'm sure she'll serve almost no time and be back driving around in a new Mercedes soon.
I guess the system hopes people can/will change their actions and learn from mistakes. It doesn't account for the power of alcoholism over common sense.
Accidents happen, but getting behind the wheel when you're three times the legal limit isn't an accident.
