The punishment would vary with the jurisdiction where the offense(s) take place, with the circumstances (such as whether any injury is caused by the pursuit or thee drunk driving), and whether there were any prior offenses committed by the person accused. The penalty would probably be greater than if the DWI was not accompanied by an evading charge. Fleeing a police officer is a misdemeanor in some jurisdictions and a felony in others. Absent injury or prior offenses, DWI is usually a misdemeanor. In most jurisdictions, the maximum punishment for a misdemeanor is a $1000 fine and six months in jail for each charge. It would be unusual for someone to be sentenced to the maximum punishment.
