Sam Brinton, a former senior DOE official who identifies as non-binary, was apprehended by Maryland police on Wednesday evening as a fugitive from justice. Fox News Digital analyzed county records that show Brinton was arrested in Rockville, Maryland. It has been a month since Brinton evaded prison time in two separate cases in Nevada and Minnesota that involved luggage thefts. Brinton was apprehended in October for stealing a traveler's baggage worth a total of $2,325 from the luggage carousel at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport after flying in from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Sept. 16. According to reports, Brinton was charged with grand larceny in early December by Las Vegas prosecutors for theft of an item valued between $1,200 and $5,000. In both cases, the presiding judges ruled that there was no need for jail time despite Brinton facing up to 15 years in prison.

Sam Brinton has made headlines, and not in a good way. This is the second time that Brinton has been accused of stealing luggage. It is disheartening to see that an official in such a position has such disrespect for the law. It additionally raises legitimate questions regarding whether or not Brinton abused his position of power within the Department of Energy.

It is hard to fathom why anybody would steal luggage, irrespective of their profession. It is even harder to understand why an official in such a high-profile position would engage in such behaviour. Stealing luggage is a violation of an individual's property and personal rights. As a former senior DOE official, Brinton was entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the property and rights of others. It is troubling to see that Brinton has betrayed the trust that was bestowed upon him
