A 20-year-old Cincinnati man dressed as a Breathalyzer test found himself blowing into one when Oxford police picked him up on suspicion of drunk driving Halloween night.

Oxford police arrested James P. Miller after allegedly finding him driving the wrong way down a one-way street with no headlights at about 1:30 a.m. Nov. 1., according to a police report.

Miller, who was allegedly stuffing his mouth with chewing gum, told the officer he did not have anything to drink that night, according to police.

Police found an open container of beer in the center console, a partial case of beer on the passenger side front seat and more beer in the trunk of the car, according to the report. Miller also had multiple Ohio driver licenses, police said.

Miller was taken to the Oxford police department, where he blew a 0.158 percent blood alcohol level – nearly twice the legal limit.

He was cited for offenses involving underage persons, certain acts prohibited, open container and a one-way street violation. He was released to his girlfriend, a Miami University student, according to police.
