Prom Night Drunk Driver is Actually Limo Driver

Hey kids! Here's a tip from your Uncle Bob: if you insist on drinking when you go to your high school prom (and we don't recommend that you do) at least have the brains to hire a limo driver so you won't get . . . wait a minute, you DID hire a limo driver and now HE'S been arrested for DUI? The only option you have at that point is to have your parents drive you.

Good luck getting to third base with mom in the front seat!

A limousine company has fired the driver who was arrested Friday night in Lowell for allegedly drunk driving while ferrying local high school students around on their prom night. Lynette's Limousine Company said yesterday it had dismissed Brian Harrison, 45, of Tewksbury, who had worked for the company for three years, and had no previous problems.

The company said it is deeply shocked, troubled, and embarrassed by the exercise of poor judgment by Harrison. He was arrested after one of seven students from Lowell Catholic High School called her parents to report that Harrison seemed intoxicated when he came to pick them up at a movie theater Friday evening.

The students’ parents took them home.
