Alarming! Bounced Frankfort Bar-Goer Pulls Fire Alarm On Way Out Door: Cops

SHOREWOOD, IL — An unwanted customer at Skooter’s Roadhouse pulled the fire alarm on his way out the door after he and his buddies were told to leave, police said.

Curt Wdowikowski, 25, exhibited the alarming behavior at the troubled country-western hotspot shortly after midnight Saturday, police said.

Wdowikowski and the group he was socializing with had caused trouble in the bar, according to police, and management told them to go.

Shorewood police officers reportedly happened to be in the bar at the time to conduct a business check. They determined which alarm had been pulled and confirmed there was not an actual fire while some customers headed for the exits. The fire department reportedly made a full response to the alarm.

The officers reviewed surveillance footage and saw it was Wdowikowski who pulled the fire alarm, police said. The officers then reportedly learned the group Wdowikowski had been hanging out with was still in the parking, but that he was gone.

Wdowikowski was arrested Thursday afternoon and booked into the Will County jail. The Frankfort resident was later released on $20,000 bond.
