A Texas teenager who was released on bond the day after he was arrested for shooting three people at his high school has found himself back behind bars.
Timothy Simpkins, 18, was arrested on Thursday after a court-ordered urinalysis returned a positive result for an 'illicit substance,' according to FOX News.
It did not specify what type of 'illicit substance' Simpkins allegedly used, but under the terms of his $25,000 bond he was prohibited from using drugs and alcohol.
The arrest came just 10 days after Simpkins sought to modify the term of his bond to allow him to go to church on Sundays, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. A judge has not yet ruled on the request.
Simpkins was originally arrested back in October on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a shooting at Mansfield Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas that left a student critically injured.
He was released the next day on bond, and was seen later that afternoon celebrating with his family.
Simpkins - who is 5ft 9in and weighs 135lbs - opened fire in his classroom at Timberview High School on October 6, shortly after 9am, after a fight with a fellow student Zaccaeus Selby.
A video of their fight was posted on social media by Simpkins' cousin on Wednesday night in an effort to prove that he was being bullied.
It shows Simpkins - who was identified by police as wearing a light colored hoodie in the footage - being pummeled by Selby, who is three years his junior, while holding his hands around his head.
While teachers and coaches tried to restrain Simpkins went to his orange backpack, pulled out of a .45 caliber handgun and started shot Selby, who was critically injured.

Illicit substance probably Ivermectin. Or, HCQ.
Our system is truly screwed up if a person that murdered kids in school is out on bail.
He has “The Card”!
Shouldn’t the story say “teen” instead of teenager?
He is a teen, as the current code words say.
Picture was already in media 2 days earlier so not an insult to anyone.
Ghetto Rat Priviledge
Was he not supposed to smoke weed?
The tarantula dreds are a good sign this one is bad
You can take the kid out of the ghetto, but.....
“murdered”? You must have read a different account?
We see who has the real privilege in the USA don’t we?
What possible effect could weed have on THIS specimen of Homo sapiens?
In Houston, some things are possible that may not square with good common sense. ___#travellerBEWARE
I guess asking him to say drug free was just TOO MUCH of a burden for him. Works for me as he never should have gotten bail in the first place.
No kidding. It seems to be a prerequisite for about 80% of perp mug shots.
My bad, attempted murder
Ah, another swarthy, urbanite flower of humanity.
Dead eyes.
Like someone else said; I can’t recall any other school shooter being allowed out on bail at least so quickly.
He shot that other kid three times with a FORTY FIVE.
