On the Lighter Side:
The Pittsburgh Steelers were in town to play the Patriots on 1/22/17. This was still the Brady era. They were housed in a local hotel. A life-long patriot fan named Dennis Harrison decided he would do his part to help the Patriots. At about 3:40 am, he entered the hotel and pulled the fire alarm believing that if he interrupted their sleep the Steelers would be less effective on the field. He was eventually caught and arrested. We had the pleasure of representing him. It will probably come as no surprise that far from being considered a criminal, Dennis became something of a hero. Free drinks and meals. In fact, one of the local Hooters Restaurants had his name up in lights. We must remember that the prosecutors are also Patriots fans. I received more than one message from them stating that prosecution was the farthest thing from their minds. Just like Dennis, they were interested in seeing the Patriots win which they did 36 — 17. The case resolved via some fines and a letter of apology. The case became known as “ALARMGATE.” Up here in
Boston, we had the best possible defense, I LOVE TME PATS
