"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.”

2.3K? Sounds like grand theft to me.
Not only that, but he hadn’t checked any bags that day, so had no need to be in the baggage claim area AT ALL.
I’m surprised that it’s not petty theft by the standards they set for the retail stores.
Or something like fag reparations.
Guess Its wardrobe needed updating. Bets on It and the woman with the stolen luggage being the same dress size?
Serious question: Is it more dangerous to have a gun for self-defense OR for a man with a gender identity issue to be working as a “senior energy official”?
As some clever freeper noted on another thread, “he looks like a roll-on deodorant.”
Allegedly huh
Have you ever been there when the bag didn't show up? I've never lost a checked bag, but have had checked bags delivered to my final destination a few times. With flight delays and rescheduling it easy to see how this could happen, especially with multi hop flights..
EMAW he is a KSU graduate.
He has been honored by his university, Kansas State University for his achievements.
What a drag.

“it” was too awkward
I can understand if you would say you’re having a hard time using “he”, “him” based on how determined he is not to reflect so many essential masculine traits.
Then he said “how do you like them apples”?
They are known to harbor a fair amount of contempt for morally-intact feminine women, not uncommonly referring to them as “breeders”.
unless this guy grabbed the bag and walked away while the people were standing there.
if so, that's a low down dirty thing to do -stealing luggage..
This appears to be a low down dirty thing to do versus a honest mistake...
Why do liberals always try to change gender terms.
