The incident occurred during the school’s Thanksgiving break when no students or staff were present.

Authorities were alerted to the school after an alarm indicated a possible burglary in progress. Upon arrival, deputies discovered 34-year-old Joe Urias in a classroom.

Urias was found unclothed, accompanied by items including sex toys, women’s underwear, marijuana, food, and a laptop. He had also made a makeshift bed in the classroom.

Port St. Lucie Police Chief Leo Niemczyk described the scene as unsettling. “There were no children present. There was nobody inside the school at the time. He was by himself. You know, as to the vulgarity, I think I just don’t even want to get into his mind and think about what he was thinking,” Niemczyk said.

When Urias realized he had been seen, he attempted to flee the scene.

Officers pursued him, but the situation escalated when Urias struck a deputy in the face during the chase.

“I identified myself, I held both of my hands up and said, ‘deputy sheriff, stop!’ And he said, ‘no bro,’ and tried to run through me,” said St. Lucie County Deputy Eric Holbert. “We tussled a little bit, he hit me right here in the lip, I hit him in the jaw and I was able to hold him with a jiu-jitsu seatbelt grip.”

Urias was ultimately subdued and taken into custody.

Authorities determined that Urias, who appeared to be homeless, had gained access to the school through an unlocked window.

During questioning, Urias admitted he had entered the school seeking shelter during the break.

“He said that he was homeless and what he has been doing is teaching at his school and then hanging out at a Starbucks and then sleeping in the public wherever he can,” Deputy Holbert said. “He knew this week that schools were out, so he was going to break into the school and stay there for the week.”

The presence of marijuana and sex toys raised additional concerns about Urias’s intentions.

Urias, who had been employed as a teacher at Somerset College Preparatory Academy, was immediately terminated following the incident.

In a statement posted on social media, the school emphasized its commitment to student safety. “All prospective employees at our school undergo thorough background checks and screening conducted by the local school district. We will ensure that this individual does not return to our campus,” the statement read.

The post drew criticism from parents, with many questioning the thoroughness of the school’s hiring practices.

The incident has left the Port St. Lucie community in shock, particularly given Urias’s position as an educator. “It’s horrifying to think that someone who taught children could end up in this situation,” one parent commented online. “Schools need to do more to ensure our kids are safe.”

Urias now faces multiple charges, including battery of a law enforcement officer, burglary, and lewd and lascivious behavior.

Chad Ayers, a former sheriff’s deputy and security expert, suggested that Urias’s behavior may have been influenced by more than marijuana use.

“It’s highly unusual for someone under the influence of marijuana alone to exhibit this kind of erratic behavior,” Ayers said in an interview with Law & Crime. “It’s possible there are other substances or deeper psychological issues at play.”

Ayers also commended law enforcement for their handling of the situation. “Engaging with a suspect who’s naked and combative introduces unique complications.

As the investigation continues, questions remain about how Urias’s behavior went unnoticed and whether systemic changes are needed to prevent similar incidents in the future.
