University of Louisiana-Lafayette student arrested for pulling dorm fire alarm

The Residential College North fire alarm was falsely pulled Feb. 27, and after sending out a “help identify” broadcast email, the LSU Police Department identified the suspect and arrested him, according to LSUPD Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.

Robert Thomas Bernard, 19, of 160 Twin Oaks Blvd. in Lafayette was arrested for criminal mischief after being identified in the broadcast email less than a month after pulling the alarm, Lalonde said.

Bernard was issued a misdemeanor summons and released, Lalonde said.

Ryan Sherwood Anthony, 19-year-old student, was arrested for criminal damage to property of $2,000 on March 10. LSUPD identified him through security video analysis, Lalonde said.
