Jamaal Bowman gets off scot-free: The Democrat WON'T be investigated by House Ethics after he was slapped with a misdemeanor and $1,000 fine for pulling a fire alarm on Capitol Hill

The House Ethics Committee will not be investigating Jamaal Bowman's fire alarm heist after he's already been charged with a crime by DC law enforcement, it announced Wednesday.

Video footage showed Bowman pulling the fire alarm during a chaotic weekend vote to keep the government funded on September 30. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge from the D.C. attorney general related to triggering a false fire alarm and agreed to pay the maximum fine. 

The charge launched the Ethics panel's process for investigating a lawmaker. But the committee, split evenly between Republicans and Democrats, voted not to launch an investigative subcommittee and send a full report to the House. 

'A majority of the Members of the Committee did not agree to establish an [Investigative Subcommittee] or report to the House regarding Representative Bowman’s conduct,' Chair Michael Guest, R-Miss., and Ranking Member Susan Wild, D-Pa., said in a statement. 

Republicans accused Bowman of pulling the fire alarm to delay a vote on a stopgap government funding bill. 

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy had put a 'clean' continuing resolution, CR, to extend the funding deadline and avert a shutdown hours before a deadline. Democrats had wanted more time to read the bill and make sure they weren't getting duped. 

Under the  agreement with prosecutors Bowman will have to pay a $1,000 fine and write an apology to Capitol Police. 

The New York Democrat called allegations he pulled the alarm deliberately 'complete BS' and claimed he thought he was opening a door.

But Capitol Police referred him to prosecutors, who have hit him with one misdemeanor count and ordered him to appear in court.

The September 30 incident took place in the Cannon House Office building and sparked calls from Republicans for him to be expelled from Congress. But days later McCarthy was ousted as speaker, sending the House into a tailspin and moving punishment for Bowman to the back burner. 

The charge was for 'willfully and knowingly [giving] a false alarm of fire, in violation of DC code' and the New York Democrat was ordered to appear in court for arraignment on Thursday.

'I thought the alarm would open the door,' Bowman had originally told reporters about the incident.

'I was rushing to make a vote, I was trying to get to a door.'

Bowman called the notion that he pulled the fire alarm to delay a vote 'complete BS.'

After the former school principal made the deal with prosecutors, he changed his tune: 'I am responsible for activating a fire alarm, I will be paying the fine issued, and look forward to these charges being ultimately dropped,' he said in a statement.
