Seattle Post-Intelligencer: AP - U.S. Headlines: "WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. -- Ten friends took a limousine to assure themselves a safe ride to their high school prom - but they ended up busting their own limo driver.
Patrick Curley, a senior at Winter Springs High School, used his cell phone to call home Saturday and reported the driver had driven through stop signs, cut off other vehicles and veered onto the wrong side of the road.
Robert Curley told his son to tell the driver to pull over, and when she stopped, the students grabbed the keys out of the ignition.
'This is unbelievable,' Robert Curley told Seminole County Sheriff's Office dispatchers when he reported the incident. 'We rented the limo so you're obviously going to be safe.'
The students got to the prom an hour and a half late.
Christina Tomacelli, 49, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and refusing to submit to a blood-alcohol test. Deputies said they found a half-empty bottle of citrus-flavored vodka next to the driver's seat. They said she also told them she had been drinking wine."
