Limo driver fired after alleged druken driving incident

By Globe Staff

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.

Harrison is to be arraigned Monday in Lowell District Court. He could not be reached for comment.
