It's said that you should never judge a man by his clothes. But when a man is dressed like a giant Breathalyzer, it's hard to do otherwise.
Police in Lincoln, Neb., say that early Monday they pulled over a suspected drunken driver who was wearing a Halloween costume modeled after the blood alcohol tests often administered to suspected drunken drivers.
According to JournalStar.com, Matthew Nieveen, 19, was hit with second-offense charges of driving under the influence and being a minor in possession of alcohol -- as well as violations for negligent driving and an open container -- after a police officer saw him accelerate rapidly and swerve across the center line multiple times.
Officers noted that the suspect smelled like booze, slurred his words and had watery eyes when they stopped his pickup truck. Police reportedly searched the vehicle and found a bottle of vodka, a half-empty bottle of Mountain Dew mixed with vodka, and several bottles and cans of beer.
Police say Nieveen's blood alcohol level measured 0.08 -- a figure that didn't come close to the 6.9 emblazoned on his chest, but easily exceeds the legal limit, which is zero for anyone under the age of 21.
Nieveen, who had been attending a Halloween party before his arrest, isn't the first man to allegedly fail a Breathalyzer while dressed like a Breathalyzer.
