Driver In Sealy's Death Gets Another DWI
The driver who hit and killed Malik Sealy was charged with a DWI for a third time yesterday.Souksangouane Phengsene, 50, of Shakopee, was arrested in Crystal on Saturday and was charged with two counts of drunk driving Monday in Hennepin County District Court.
According to the court file, Phengsene was driving in an erratic manner, weaving in and out of lanes, and driving on the curb. Court papers say he was tested at the police station and his blood alcohol level registered at 0.21 percent. Minnesota's legal limit is 0.08 percent.
Phengsene was driving the wrong way on Highway 100 in St. Louis Park when he hit Sealy's vehicle six years ago, killing the 30-year-old athlete, who was returning home after a birthday party for teammate Kevin Garnett. Phengsene had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent then, when the state's legal limit was 0.10 percent. He pleaded guilty to felony criminal vehicular homicide and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Phengsene was also convicted of DWI in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1997.
