An individual who police knew to have mental problems entered the front lobby of the Hanover Police station and, after "milling around" for a bit, purposefully pulled the fire alarm. Upon questioning, the suspect admitted to the offense and said he did it because he did not want to buy cigars for somebody. The 40-year-old male is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation and if convicted on charges of false public alarm he could face a fine of up to $2,000 and a sentence of up to one year in prison.
