A top New College of Florida official and former communications director for Gov. Ron DeSantis was arrested Tuesday on a charge of exposure of sexual organs, according to police records.

State of play: Fred Piccolo Jr., the college's former marketing and media director, "is no longer employed by the college," according to an unsigned statement from the college's communications department shared with Axios.

His name was also scrubbed from the college's website. As of Wednesday afternoon, he remained in custody at the Manatee County Jail.
