Copycat Breathalizer Scam in Nebraska Goes Sour



Dumb Teenager Dressed As Breathalyzer Busted 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, left, was arrested when a Lincoln cop pulled over his Ford F-150 for driving erratically. Though cops identified Nieveen, they decided to black out his face in a photo snapped post-arrest. His dad is probably a local city council member or has some other local pull.

Nieveen boasted a blood alcohol level double Nebraska's .08 limit. Cops also found a bottle of vodka and beer in his truck.

Last Halloween, an Ohio college student wearing a similar Breathalyzer costume (Photo above right) was busted for drunk driving and underage drinking. His face was not blacked out by cops, suggesting his dad was a nobody.

It was believed that Nieveen's actions were a copycat of the Ohio crime, though there is no known connection between the two men. An unauthorized spokesperson for no one in particular said this marked the beginning of a nationwide trend in faking breathalizer machines.
