At one point or another, we’ve all dreamt of seeking revenge on a significant other during a moment of anger, whether it be as minor as egging his house or as major as making out with his best friend.
Benjamin Bishop, a Penn State student, decided in his drunken state of mind that he would try to piss his girlfriend in a rather unique way. Naturally, his idea to do so was to attempt to make the fire alarm go off in her dorm hall. According to the Centre Daily Times, a Penn State employee called University police at 6:30 a.m. when she found burnt paper in the hall.
Officers found burnt paper and a charred pack of Marlboro cigarettes near a stairwell in the building. Video surveillance showed a man later identified as Benjamin Bishop, 18, of Doylestown, try to trigger the alarm first with a lit cigarette, then by burning the pack and papers attached to a door in the building, according to police.
So smooth, Benjamin.
The cops didn’t think so, however, because Benjamin is currently being held in the Centre County Correctional facility for arson accusations, possessing incendiary materials, risking catastrophe, and disorderly conduct. Yikes. If I were his girlfriend, I’d be dumping his psycho booty ASAP. Going to have to pass on dating a pyromaniac/criminal.
