WASHINGTON — Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., pled guilty on Thursday to one count of falsely pulling a fire alarm, which he did in a House office building on Capitol Hill last month. Bowman entered his plea in D.C. Superior Court on Thursday morning as part of a deferred prosecution agreement with prosecutors. Under the deal, Bowman is required to pay a $1,000 fine and write an apology letter to the U.S. Capitol Police chief.
' He set off the alarm on Sept. 30 in the Cannon House Office Building as lawmakers were about to vote on a spending measure to keep the government open and prevent a shutdown. Hours after the incident, Bowman said in a statement that he activated the alarm by mistake after encountering a door that was typically open during floor votes but would not open that day. “I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door.
