Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in connection incident that took place in a congressional building on Capitol Hill last month where it was found that he triggered a fire alarm for no good reason. According to Bowman, he was rushing to cast his vote on a government funding bill that day and mistakingly pulled the alarm while trying to pass through a door in the building that was usually kept open.
"It was a lapse of judgment if you will... wasn't a conscious decision to do something wrong," Bowman said in a quote obtained from Fox News.
