A former Energy Department official pleaded “no contest” Wednesday after they were seen on video stealing luggage at Harry International Airport in Las Vegas.
Samuel Brinton agreed to pay the victim restitution of nearly $3670, received a suspended jail sentence of 180 days, and must stay out of trouble, according to Las Vegas Justice Court records. Brinton pleaded “no contest” to misdemeanor theft. Nevada state law specifies that the stolen amount is less than $1200. Brinton originally faced a charge of felony theft since police said the stolen amount was $3670.
Brinton, who is non-binary and uses the pronouns “they” and “them” stole luggage from a baggage carousel last July.
A woman who had traveled from Dulles International Airport to Reid Airport on July 6 said she could not locate a piece of her luggage that she had checked with United Airlines. She filed a police report four days later. The luggage was described as gray with a hard shell and an “Away” brand “Bigger Carry-On” model valued at $320, documents said.
The woman told police her stolen property had a total value of more than $3,670 and included jewelry, makeup, contact lenses, and clothing, documents said.
A Las Vegas Metropolitan police officer reviewed surveillance video and “observed several nonverbal cues, or body language anomalies, from the suspect, which caught his attention,” according to the warrant.
“Specifically, Brinton pulled the victim’s luggage from the carousel and examined the tag. Then placed it back on the carousel, looking in all directions for anyone who might be watching or might approach. Pulling it back off the carousel and demonstrating the same behavior by looking around before walking away with it quickly,” the warrant said.

Is this the prevert?
SB is a “they”?
Needs to be a “was/were”.
I don’t know - I think he’d look good in orange . . .
This freak job was in charge of America’s nuclear waste.

Yes, the government official esteemed for his perversion.
“...pleaded “no contest” Wednesday after they were seen on video stealing luggage...”
garbage most foul should be incinerated
Like a dude dressing up as a demon dudette?
“A Las Vegas Metropolitan police officer reviewed surveillance video and “observed several nonverbal cues, or body language anomalies, from the suspect, which caught his attention,” according to the warrant.”
So $3670 is less than $1200.
I did not know that.
Nevada seems to have some VERY new math.
.
He agreed to stay out of trouble?
Is this how it works? You can get a plea bargain with no jail time if you agree to stay out of trouble? If you promise to stay out of trouble, that’s it?
This idea may spread.
The fix is in. Freakazoid should have had to serve at least a few days or weeks in jail if only to serve as a warning that even high level govt officials, esp. Democrats, are no better than the average thief.

Just like Jussie, no jail time.
Of course he got a special plea deal. He is a trans GIBLET leftist. Meanwhile, many January 6th defendants remain in prison under horrible conditions still awaiting trial all for trespassing after being invited by security into the Capitol.
The fix is in.
**************
It always is for Democrats.
Would a black man who stole luggage like him get off so easy? I don’t think so.
They had clear evidence: no reason for a plea deal down to effectively nothing other than politics.
Would a black man who stole luggage like him get off so easy?
Why izz yu axxin’ a quershun like dat?
