Man arrested for DWI in Breathalyzer costume

Man arrested for drunk driving

A teenager wearing a Breathalyzer costume was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI),  minor in possession (MIP) and negligent driving.

Police in Lincoln, Nebraska arrested the 19 year-old after observing him “driving erratically” in a Ford pickup truck in the early morning hours of Monday, November 1.   He was was wearing a Breathalyzer test  Halloween costume with a less-than-tastefully placed “blow here” tube.  His blood alcohol concentration was measured at more than .16 when he blew into a real Breathalyzer.

Police reported finding a bottle of vodka and beer upon searching his vehicle.

History (and irony) repeats itself.  Check out our  November 9, 2009 DWI News post about a young man in Ohio busted for drunken driving while wearing a Breathalyzer costume for Halloween.

Authorities: Nebraska man too drunk for DUI sentencing

Papillion, NE

Authorities said a 30-year-old-man showed up so drunk for his sentencing for drunken driving that he missed his hearing and now faces even more time behind bars. Authorities said Jason Botos was driven to the Papillion courthouse on Thursday by his father, who needed help from deputies to get his son out of the vehicle.

Prosecutor Ben Perlman said Botos was so drunk he couldn’t attend the hearing, so the judge issued a warrant. Deputies arrested Botos in the parking lot.

Another hearing is set for Tuesday. A jail spokeswoman said Botos remained in custody Friday. Botos’ attorney didn’t immediately return a call.

Botos had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving in a September 2009 collision with five other vehicles.
