Drunk Penn State Student Sets Off Fire Alarm To Annoy Girlfriend, Gets Charged With Arson
Benjamin Bishop and his girlfriend got into a fight, because that’s what couples do — they fight. Unfortunately, the situation took a wrong turn when an employee at Penn State’s Simmons Hall called University police at 6:30 in the morning over what was considered suspected arson.
From Centre Daily:
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.
Bishop turned himself in and told the cops he was just trying to set off the fire alarm to annoy his girlfriend. He claimed to have been drunk and not on his anxiety meds at the time of the incident.
Look, I’m no expert in how to annoy your girlfriend, because that shit just comes naturally to me, but I feel like setting off a fire alarm probably isn’t gonna do the trick. If it were me in this situation, here are a few things I would consider:
1) Bang her roommate.
2) Bang her sister.
3) Bang her mom.
4) Dump her ass.
I’m not trying to face jail time over some petty shit. Bishop is currently being held in the Centre County Correctional facility for arson accusations, possessing incendiary materials, risking catastrophe, and disorderly conduct..

11 years ago at 2:19 pmThat’s bold
11 years ago at 1:04 pmI’m hoping it was Tech Guy so he’ll get rammed in jail.
11 years ago at 1:13 pmGood to see you back, friend.
11 years ago at 7:51 pmCan’t diss a kid for the attempted power move. Annoying a whole building when trying to annoy your girlfriend is a TFM
11 years ago at 1:19 pmArson is by no means a TFM.
11 years ago at 1:22 pmIt is if you don’t get caught 🙂
11 years ago at 1:24 pmNo that’s still arson. Trust me I’m pre-law.
11 years ago at 4:17 pmI thought you were pre-med? Ehh, what’s the difference.
11 years ago at 4:40 pm“You should see what happens when I’m drunk and on my Xanex”
11 years ago at 1:21 pmTop floor, far left window in the picture. That was my dorm room 4 years ago. Bringing back great memories of getting too drunk to talk to girls and stumbling back from fratland alone at 2am.
11 years ago at 1:21 pmWhat a riveting tale. Please, tell us more.
11 years ago at 1:33 pmThanks for sharing.
11 years ago at 1:59 pmThat’s depressing
11 years ago at 2:00 pmSo what are your plans for this weekend?
11 years ago at 2:20 pmHow many little boys did you lure back there?

11 years ago at 4:14 pmYou have wasted your life.
11 years ago at 7:09 pmI thought this was Penn State, isn’t his super rich and powerful dad on the way there to bail him out?
11 years ago at 1:27 pmNo that’s Ohio State.
11 years ago at 2:08 pmYou’re thinking of UPenn.
11 years ago at 4:00 pmI grew up in the same area as the kid. He’s fucked in the head.
11 years ago at 2:11 pmI put in a complaint about my neighbours last night. I was trying to sleep and they were shouting, screaming, banging on the windows, then to top it all their fucking smoke alarm started going off.
Anyway I think it worked, I haven’t heard a peep from them today.
11 years ago at 2:12 pmI am surprised that such fuck nigga behavior is happening at one of the premier universities in America. University of Pennsylvania state has produced hundreds of successful people, and has one of the best business schools in the county.
11 years ago at 7:09 pmWe use hard Rs around here chief
