Texas teen, 18, who was bailed the day after ‘shooting and injuring three people at his school’ is re-arrested ‘after testing positive for illicit substance'

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.

Both Houston and Austin are crime cesspool. Marxists run Austin and black racists and supporting white Marxists make both of them Crime-Central for Texas, according to what I have been reading about them over the years.

Feel sorry for all the good people who have to live in these crime-ridden cities, run and ruined by Democrats - Marxists, white rich progressives, black fascists, stupids and other supporters of their destructive rule.

“Shouldn’t the story say “teen” instead of teenager?
He is a teen, as the current code words say.”

Actually, it’s ‘youth’, if he’s black.

“In Houston, some things are possible that may not square with good common sense. ___#travellerBEWARE”

This is Dallas, but yea, same thing in Houston. Soros has taken over pretty much all of the big cities in Texas, and I suspect most other states.

“I though Texas had tough courts?”

Soros recently took over our cities. Not too long ago there was an article about the Hurricane Katrina ‘refugees’, who settled in Houston, and then got to work doing the same things they did in back in New Orleans.

One huge difference, in Houston - when caught, they were looking at YEARS in the state penn. The article dealt with their shock at not being able to make their sister’s wedding the following month (in one case) - as that was how New Orleans operated.

...but now, no difference. No one from LaHood goes to jail anymore, pretty much.

But this was Arlington, right next to Dallas.

That’s what was so surprising. Is the judicial rot spreading?
