Once again, the brave men and women in blue have narrowly averted a disaster, and kept a dangerous felon off the streets. Several months ago, young Casey Harmeier pulled a fire alarm, on a dare by a classmate. The principal called the police, who were so angered at being pulled away from their doughnuts that they arrested the child and charged him with a felony. However, it turns out that fire alarm logs show that the boy did not actually set off the alarm when he pulled the lever. The lever is attached to a loud siren, used to scare pranksters. Instead, a teacher accidentally set off the real fire alarm, while trying to disarm the siren. The prosecutor knows this, but she’s charging the child anyway.
Way to go, guys. I feel safer already.
