Captain Phil’s Son Jake Harris in DUI Accident



The late, great Captain Phil Harris’ son, Jake Harris, was arrested in Seattle last night and is currently in jail for DUI.

Apparently Jake, 24, was involved in a car accident while intoxicated and fled the scene. He will most likely be charged with three misdemeanors, DUI, hit and run, and driving with a suspended license. His bail has been set at $1,500.00.

Gawd, I hate to report this. Of course I would never condone drinking and driving, but damn, I feel for this kid. His pop just died and he is grieving. This certainly isn’t going to make the situation any easier. I wish nothing but the best for him. We met him last fall and he was a real sweet kid.

I have nothing but love in my heart for this family and hope he doesn’t make the same mistake twice..

    All drinking can do is numb your feelings, it prohibits the ability to grieve properly and prolongs the pain. Adjusting to the pain is he only way to get through it and be able to move on in time. I am sorry this happened, but grateful no one was killed or hurt. Hiring a car or cab would have been the responsible thing to do, where were his friends and why weren’t they looking out for him?

    Luckily he will be able to move on because no one was hurt, but I hope he can do so in a more non destructive way. He doesn’t see away out of the pain but it lessens, the first year is the hardest so he has a time to do this right and in a healthy way.

    Come on Jake; I am a big fan of your dad’s. He reminds me so much of my dad..Please straighten yourself out..it is nor worth the risk and penalty of driving drunk. Your dad raised you and Josh with principles of what the meaning of courage, dedication, devotion, discipline, integrity, trust, and integruty are all about. I have been praying for you boys and you will carry on the legacy of your father..Don’t do it the way you are doing it now..

    Everyone grieves in a different way. Poor kid. I wish someone was watching out for him on this particular evening. It will be a lesson learned. As Jinxy McD says, thankfully no one was hurt.

    I hope that Jake gets some help. Drowning one’s sorrows in alcohol is not the answer.
