The brother of an FAU student resident, Simpkins was caught after urinating on a computer, computer desk, keyboards and floors in Room 101, FAU police said.

FAU Police made contact with building manager C. Perry Weinthal, who said that someone had been urinating in the room for the past several days, according to their records.

From Feb. 19-26, he was identified on camera five times in the room, also known as “The Cube.”

Simpkins lied to the reporting officer and claimed to be a commuter student. FAU Police records state that he is not a registered student.

He was originally held on a $4,500 bond, which is now $10,000.
