BOSTON (WHDH) - An East Boston man accused of pulling a fire alarm early Sunday morning at the Pittsburgh Steelers team hotel admitted to being a big fan of the New England Patriots.
Dennis Harrison, 25, was arraigned Monday morning on charges of disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace and pulling a false alarm.
Harrison confessed that he was drunk when he pulled the fire alarm at the Logan Airport Hilton hotel around 3:40 a.m, telling officers that he knew the Steelers were staying at the hotel, according to police.
“I’m drunk. I’m stupid. I’m a Pats fan.” Harrison allegedly told officers.
A police report indicated that Harrison learned the Steelers’ whereabouts on social media and acted on a dare by his friends. He was arrested when police found him walking around the hotel.
“He is a die hard Patriots fan,” said Harrison’s attorney, Francisco Napolitano. “He goes to many Patriots games.”
Harrison was released on personal recognizance. He was ordered to stay away from the Logan Hilton Hotel.
