Police say Brinkerhoff tried set a fire in the elevator with cleaning fluids in an effort to attract attention.
The smoke activated a fire alarm, which sent the elevator to the ground floor where Port Authority Police were waiting.
Brinkerhoff was arraigned Sunday on charges of burglary and arson. He was released on his own recognizance. A number for him could not immediately be found.
