Philadelphia Eagles runningback Dion Lewis was arrested early Saturday morning after he banged on a locked glass door at a hotel and pulled the fire alarm.

According to Albany Times-Union, Lewis, along with his older brother, Lamar Lewis, were charged with falsely reporting a fire, a felony, and misdemeanor reckless endangerment.

Police say the two men were intoxicated at the time of the incident, which occurred around 4 a.m. when the sliding glass doors would not open.

Lewis was a resident of the hotel, which locks the doors after midnight but can be opened by residents with a hotel key. Lewis, 21, was released after being arraigned.
