Two boys are facing criminal charges after allegedly pulling a fire alarm unnecessarily inside a Belcamp hotel.
Around 9 p.m. Friday, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old entered the Wyndham Hotel in the 1300 block of Policy Drive in Belcamp, according to deputy state fire marshals.
The two boys were allegedly intoxicated and acting disorderly. They allegedly pulled a fire alarm inside the hotel when there was no emergency, according to fire officials.
Five Abingdon firefighters responded to the call.
The two boys were charged with false fire alarm and underage possession of alcohol before being released to their parents, according to fire officials.
One of the boys was taken to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center for evaluation.
