One of the most humorous incidents from this year’s Halloween involved a man from Nebraska, USA, who dressed up as a portable breathalyser and was arrested for driving under the influence.
Matthew Nieveen, at 19 years old, found himself in trouble early Monday morning for Driving Under the Influence and being a minor in possession of alcohol.
It’s peculiar…how can a MAN face arrest for possessing alcohol while also being classified as a MINOR for the same offense?
Surely, being a man would imply eligibility to purchase alcoholic drinks.
This 19-year-old man/minor is prohibited from consuming or even having alcohol, yet is allowed to receive a firearm and go to war for the US government. If you’re authorized to kill on behalf of your country, surely there should be a right to consume alcohol…there are certainly some bizarre laws in place.
Nieveen was apprehended when a police officer in Lincoln pulled over his Ford F-150 after observing the teenager’s erratic driving.
While officers recognized Nieveen, they opted to obscure his face in a post-arrest photo.
His blood alcohol concentration surpassed the state’s .08 limit, even though he should not have been drinking at all. A search of his vehicle revealed a bottle of vodka along with some beer.
Even though this man/minor was caught driving drunk, labeling him as ‘minor in possession of alcohol’ seems incorrect…he’s a man.
Last Halloween, an Ohio college student donned a similar Breathalyser costume, getting arrested for both drunk driving and underage drinking.
