Guy Wearing Breathalyzer Costume Busted for Drunk Driving

by JP Mangalindan on November 5, 2009 at 02:22 PM

Whether it was a brilliant stunt or just sweet irony at work, we'll probably never know what 18-year-old trick-or-treater James Miller was thinking when he was arrested early Sunday, for drunk driving, dressed as a Breathalyzer.

Cops pulled over the intoxicated Cincinnati teen in Oxford, Ohio after catching him driving the wrong way on a one-way street, NBC 4 reports. As police searched the car, they found a can of Bud Light in the center console, the remains of the case strewn about the car, and a few Ohio IDs in Miller's wallet. An actual Breathalyzer test revealed the teen's blood alcohol content was .158, or nearly twice the state's legal limit.

The costume, which retails for about $30, shows three sobriety levels: "Boring," "Life of the Party," and "Sotally Tober." It also, of course, features a plastic tube (in the groin region, no less) bearing the instructions, "Blow Here." We're willing to bet that Miller would like to add another sobriety result to the costume's display, just above the blow tube, and right next to "Sotally Tober": "This blows."
