Boston Chucklehead Arrested for Pulling Steelers' Hotel Alarm, Fire Alarm at Gillette Also Went Off

Broheem McHarrison—who was not staying at the hotel, nor gave a good reason for being there—also had a getaway car waiting for him.

Some bonehead was arrested early Sunday morning for falsely pulling a fire alarm at 3am at the Pittsburgh Steelers' Boston airport hotel, according to ESPN. The hotel was evacuated, though players—many of whom were awoken—were not asked to leave their rooms.

The primary suspect of the high school tomdickery is East Boston's own Dennis Harrison, 25, who was found on the hotel grounds and is now being charged with disturbing the peace, pulling a false alarm, and disorderly conduct. He's being held, with pending bail.

ESPN also reported that police learned that Broheem McHarrison—who was not staying at the hotel, nor gave a good reason for being there—also had a getaway car waiting for him.

In a separate, seemingly unrelated(?) incident, parts of Gillette Stadium were emptied after another fire alarm went off before today's AFC Championships, set to kick off at 6:40pm ET. Many members of the media were evacuated.

It's uncertain how the alarm was set off, but I like to believe it was either Morgan O'Mally down from Southie, furthering the Pats hijinks, or a visiting Steelers fan, exacting revenge. What a bunch of maroons.
