PORT ST. LUCIE A firefighter in Riviera Beach was arrested after activating the fire alarm at a lounge while drunk in February at a supervisor s birthday celebration, according to recently-released records.

Charles Robert Sunser, 31, was arrested Saturday on a misdemeanor making false report charge following the early February incident at The Element lounge in the 2000 block of Northwest Courtyard Circle, records show.

I did something stupid, I m very drunk and didn t mean to cause trouble, Sunser is quoted as saying in a Port St. Lucie police report. We are here for my boss s birthday, I m sorry.

Sunser, of Palm Beach Gardens, told police he works in Riviera Beach for their fire department. He said he and some co-workers came to the lounge for a supervisor s birthday celebration. He said he got really drunk and made a mistake.

A phone message left Tuesday morning with the Riviera Beach Fire Department wasn t immediately returned.

Two Element employees saw Sunser activate the fire alarm at the front door, according to the report.

A man identified as Element s owner told police he wished to pursue charges, noting the malicious nature of the incident and the lost revenue caused by the disruption and evacuation.
