Ahhhh… Freshman year relationships. They really don’t stand a chance in hell, do they? It sounds like Penn State student Benjamin Bishop is going through an emotional ringer with his girlfriend. After a fight with his girlfriend, he wanted to annoy her by annoying the shit out of everyone else: Intentionally setting off the dorm fire alarms by burning cig packs by them:
According to the police, Benjamin Bishop, 18, turned himself in to the authorities hours after setting the fire alarms off in the first floor of Simmons Hall dorms at Penn State University.
Bishop was caught by the building’s surveillance cameras as he was burning Marlboro Cigarettes and removing and burning the paper attached on the inside of the carton to try and activate the fire alarms, according to police.
The best thing is because he wanted to “annoy her back” — Revenge!
Bishop’s reasoning for trying to set the fire alarms off was because he had gotten in a fight with his girlfriend and wanted to “annoy her back.” He told the police that he was under the influence and had forgotten to take his anxiety medications.
But — oops! — that’s a crime called arson and it probably cause some public safety personal at Penn State to freak out momentary. Also, dude, it looked like you were trying to burn the damn place down.
Police said that the 18-year-old is being charged with arson endangering persons, arson endangering property, possession of explosive or incendiary materials or devices, causing or risking catastrophe, and disorderly conduct.
Bishop was arraigned in front of Judge Leslie Dutchot and a preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 8 a.m. on August 12. He will be in jail unless he can pay off 10 percent of the $100,000 bail.
Oof. $10,000. That’s like a third of in-state tuition these days.
Relationships are hard. Do less, Bro. Just do less.
Maybe next time just tell her how hot her friends are or text her back “k” when she texts you that she loves you. That annoys the shit out of them every single time without fail.
