Who in their adult life pulls fire alarms? When drunk, Philadelphia Eagles running back Dion Lewis and his brother do.
Early Saturday, the drunken brothers found themselves locked out of the Hampton Inn hotel as the hotel locks the lobby doors after midnight. After banging on the sliding glass door to no avail, they pulled the fire alarm. I guess calling front desk would’ve been too difficult.
The two were charged with felony falsely reporting a fire and misdemeanor reckless endangerment. Dion Lewis was released after an arraignment in city court, while his brother, Lamar Lewis, was being held without bail. Lewis released a statement earlier today: “It was never my intention to cause any public alarm or damage any property. I am sorry for any embarrassment and inconvenience that my actions have caused,” Lewis said. “I am committed to continuing to conduct myself in conformance with the high moral, ethical and professional standards that I have my entire life and of which so many others rightly expect of me. Because the matter is still in the hands of the court system, I cannot comment any further.”
This is a classic example of Ballers doing dumb things. What’s worse is that they may be made an example of simply because someone knew who they were. There were so many ways they could have gone around this without being idiots enough to pull the fire alarm.
