The fire alarm at the Steelers’ team hotel went off early Sunday morning after a self-proclaimed Patriots fan pulled the alarm at 3:340 a.m.
The fan, Dennis Harrison of Boston, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace and setting off a false fire alarm. But he had an extraordinarily honest reason for the prank.
Harrison’s attorney admitted that he was probably drunk at the time of the prank, and in a police report via WBZ, Harrison said, “I got drunk and did something stupid.”
While it’s never cool to pull fire alarms — it distracts first responders from real emergencies and ruins the sleep of hotel guests — you have to respect that honesty. This was a fan who had too much to drink and wanted to do his part to give the Patriots an edge.
He’ll just be paying the price for it.
