Rochester Man Sentenced to 46 Months in Prison for Felony DWI After Police Chase and Restaurant Crash

Sebastijan Mileusnich, a 36-year-old Rochester man, has been sentenced to 46 months in prison for a felony DWI conviction. The conviction stems from a police chase that occurred earlier this year, which concluded when Mileusnich crashed his vehicle into a local restaurant. He received credit for 111 days already served in jail. Mileusnich pleaded guilty to the felony DWI charge in June as part of a plea agreement, leading Olmsted County prosecutors to drop a felony fleeing police charge. The incident began on the evening of February 20 when a Rochester police officer observed Mileusnich driving through a red light and nearly causing multiple collisions. During the subsequent pursuit, speeds reached 70 mph before Mileusnich lost control, hitting a curb, going airborne, and crashing into a road sign, a light pole, and finally the exterior wall of a restaurant.
