No License, Behind Wheel of Mass. Fire Truck
A Lowell firefighter drove a fire truck for six months without a driver's license, never telling the city he had lost his right to drive for 180 days because he refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
The affray charge was dismissed at the request of prosecutors at Lowell District Court on March 26, 2010. On the same date he was placed on pretrial probation until June 25, 2010, at which time the disorderly conduct charge was dismissed. The resisting-arrest charge was dismissed upon payment of $200 court costs.
Goyette has been a Lowell firefighter since November 2003 and makes about $60,000 a year.
