What is the punishment if you get caught fleeing a police officer and get caught and get a DWI?

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.

Person fleeing from police officer and officer dies chasing person?
I'm not exactly sure what kind of question your asking or why your asking it but I'll give it a shoot.Rule number one, do NOT flee from the Police and do exactly what they tell you to do.Rule number 2, if you are stupid enough to flee from the police and the Officer dies while chasing you than out of human kindness you should help the Officer by going back to him or her. And you could call 911 on your cell phone and get professional help for that Officer or get on their radio and call for help. This could also help you out if the Judge will decide your punishment and may give you less of a punishment.Rule number three, do NOT flee from the Police and do exactly what they tell you to do. If stupid or confused by your stupidness, go back to rule number one!anytime a person runs from law enforcement and someone dies because you were fleeing you will be charged with 2nd degree murder, you might get it reduced to manslaughter but i would'n count on that.

Trespasser is the term for this. This is illegal and you can be arrested for it. A police officer will not usually arrest someone the first time they are caught trespassing. But it is up to the police officer to arrest or not.
