Police arrest Boston man for pulling fire alarm at Steelers hotel early Sunday morning

Massachusetts State Police say they have arrested a Boston man for pulling the fire alarm early Sunday morning at the hotel where the Pittsburgh Steelers were staying—hours before the team’s AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots.

Police and MassPort fire officials responded to reports of a fire alarm at the Logan Airport Hilton hotel around 3:40 a.m. Upon arriving at the scene, officials say they determined it was a false alarm.

Police say further investigation revealed that Dennis Harrison, a 25-year-old East Boston man, had pulled the alarm.

“Harrison was not a guest at the hotel and had no legitimate reason to be on the hotel property,” police said in a statement.
