Dennis Harrison is the 25-year-old Patriots fan accused of pulling the fire alarm at the Steelers team hotel at about 3 a.m. Sunday morning. He’s in court this morning facing a judge over the incident that caused the Steelers hotel to be evacuated for about 30 minutes until the fire department figured out that it was a prankster.
Harrison’s attorney says his client is a Patriots “die hard” who might’ve had a few too many before pulling the alarm and trying to escape in a car that was stopped by state police shortly after the alarm incident.
Now Harrison seems to be asking for forgiveness. He seems to know how stupid it was to cause some in the NFL community to think that Belichick ordered the alarm hit. He’s facing disorderly, disturbing the peace and setting off a false alarm charges.
Update: Dennis reportedly had this to say to the police:
"I'm drunk, I'm stupid, I'm a Pats fan" — Dennis Harrison to police after being arrested for pulling a fire alarm at Steelers' hotel
