A Fort Myers man has been arrested after police allege he broke onto Florida Gulf Coast University’s campus, claimed to be a maintenance assistant and tampered with the school’s sprinkler system. 

University police found 28-year-old Nathan Eggleston at the campus community center after a fire alarm went off on Thursday.

The arrest report said witnesses saw him use bricks to break open a vent and get inside to mess with the sprinkler system.

Eggleston faces property damage and burglary charges.
