"Sam Brinton is on leave from DOE, and Dr. Kim Petry is performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition," a DOE spokesperson said.
A Biden administration employee – and one of the federal government’s first gender non-binary officials – has been accused of stealing a travelor’s luggage from the Minneapolis airport in September.
Sam Brinton, the deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy, was charged with felony theft after allegedly snatching a Vera Bradley suitcase reportedly worth $2,325 from baggage claim at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport on Sept. 16, according to court documents.
Brinton, who uses they/them pronouns, was captured on surveillance video grabbing the luggage and removing its ID tag identifying the owner, the filings state.
They were later seen using the Vera Bradley suitcase on at least two occasions, while traveling to Washington, DC on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9, investigators said.
Brinton initially denied stealing the suitcase to police officers, but later claimed they took it by mistake and still had it in their possession.
“If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don’t have any clothes for another individual,” Brinton first told the officer. “That was my clothes when I opened the bag.”

Either way, that's one damn clean shave. It should do shaving commercials after it gets fired.
Guaranteed to be promoted.
He will probably be given diplomatic immunity, or the equivalent.
Well then. The solution to this problem is, drop all charges and chuck this story into the memory holed.
“...drop all charges and chuck this story into the memory holed.”
More than probable and/or likely.
Charges will either be reduced below felony level, which a felony level incident would just wreck his/her security clearance(s) OR as you have indicated - dropped as a simple error/mistake on his/her simply mistakenly grabbing the wrong bag or some such.
...The thief is “deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel....”
“What is non-binary”
Some thing of value to those with no values at all.
In years past non-binary was called cross dressing and shunned, now it’s celebrated
the mental disorder is strong in this one
[Brinton first told the officer. “That was my clothes when I opened the bag.”]
Hahahahahaha - no way in the world
Simply does they/them have a receipt for the same bags? Why would that not be part of the report?
Time had elapsed - looking at the dates
Nonetheless, it was NOT their luggage
It will be “a sincere mistake”....
Just watch.
QQ.. Where was the suit case owner when this reprobate walked off with her suitcase?
QQ2.. What was worth $2300 in a suitcase? how did this creep know which suitcase the grab? was it a Gucci? Coach? louis Vitton?
Nothing like blaming the victim, a fr specialty.
Yes one can be late to the carousel. And how did he know what was in the bag? He scoped out a woman whose clothing style he liked and size he approximated.
A well dressed wealthy woman will easily have 2 or 3k worth of clothes in her suitcase. Not everyone shops at Wal-Mart.
If "they" are going to use the pleural pronouns "they" have to be consistent.
Self identified as innocent of all charges
No doubt - just an honest mistake officer
IKR but we are talking the Left here and their ability to cover each others asses.
WIKI:
Non-binary or genderqueer is an umbrella term for gender identities that are not solely male or female—identities that are outside the gender binary.
Non-binary identities fall under the transgender umbrella, since non-binary people typically identify with a gender that is different from their assigned sex, though some non-binary people do not consider themselves transgender.
