MIAMI (AFP) - Ten Florida teenagers who hired a limousine to give them a safe ride to their prom party instead snatched the keys from the chauffeur after some erratic driving -- and found a bottle of vodka in the driver's seat.

The teens said chauffeur Christina Tomacelli, 49, rushed through stop signs, cut off other drivers and even drove on the wrong side of the road, the Orlando Sentinel newspaper reported Tuesday.

One of the teens used his cell phone to call his father, who urged them to get Tomacelli to pull over. When she stopped, the teens pulled the keys out of the ignition.

When police arrived, they found the half-empty bottle of vodka in the driver's seat and arrested Tomacelli on charges of drunk driving and refusing to take a blood-alcohol test, the newspaper reported.

Tomacelli spent the night in jail and was released late Sunday. She now must go to court to face the charges.

the kids from the limo.





here's the call the one kids dad made to 911:




"I rented a limo for my kids, to go to prom," the father said.
Dispatcher: "Uh huh."


Father: "The driver's drunk."


"Oh you're kidding!" the dispatcher answered.


"No," said the man.


"How many kids are in the car?" the dispatcher asked.


"Eight," answered the father.



Two additional teens were in the limo, according to the report.

Atleast the 911 operator didn't say "What do you want me to do?" or "Do you want me to shoot her?"
