LOWELL, Mass. -- A Lowell firefighter accused of driving a city fire truck with a suspended driver's license had the charges against him dismissed on the payment of $200 in court costs.
In Lowell District Court Wednesday, Donald Goyette, 42, of 86 Corbett St., Lowell, agreed to pay the court costs in exchange for two counts of operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.
Charges were filed after the city learned that Goyette, who is on unpaid administrative leave, drove a fire engine to two medical calls in the city on Dec. 9, 2011, but his license was suspended for 180 days after he refused to take a Breathalyzer test when he was stopped on Oct. 20, 2011 by State Police in Boston on suspicion of driving drunk.
Goyette failed to notifiy city officials that his license was suspended.
