> In the most amusing meta moment from the Halloween police blotter, a Nebraska man dressed as a portable Breathalyzer machine was arrested for drunk driving. Matthew Nieveen, 19, was busted early Monday for DUI and being a minor in possession of alcohol. Nieveen, pictured in the police photo ([click to enlarge](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/halloween/%20http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/release/sites/default/files/assets/largeintoxnebraska.jpg)) at right, was collared after a Lincoln cop pulled over his Ford F-150 after the teenager was spotted driving erratically. Though cops identified Nieveen, they decided to black out his face in a photo snapped post-arrest.

> Nieveen’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the state’s .08 limit (though he wasn’t supposed to be drinking in the first place). A search of his truck turned up a bottle of vodka and beer.  
> Last Halloween, an Ohio college student [wearing a similar Breathalyzer costume](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/breathalyzer-man-busted) was busted for drunk driving and underage drinking.
