(AP)  An Ohio man dressed as a Breathalyzer test for Halloween found himself blowing into one after police stopped him for allegedly driving the wrong way without headlights on a one-way street.

Oxford police say they stopped 20-year-old James P. Miller on Halloween night and found beer in his front seat and in the trunk.

Police say Miller blew 0.158 percent on a Breathalyzer test. The legal limit for driving is a blood-alcohol level of .08.

Miller was cited on charges including operating a vehicle while intoxicated, underage possession of alcohol, having an open container and a fake ID, and a one-way street violation.

Miller had no comment when reached at home Wednesday.

Under 21 and all of those violations? That's going to be VERY expensive. I don't think he will be able to afford any costume next year. Which is probably better for everyone.

What will he dress as NEXT year? A taser, perhaps?

Look at that contemplative face - he's appreciating the irony.
