Disgraced Biden official Sam Brinton was arrested as a “fugitive from justice” by Maryland police.

Brinton was taken into custody for the theft of airport luggage. This is the third such criminal case involving Brinton.

“Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police executed a search warrant May 17 in Montgomery County, Maryland, in connection with allegations of stolen property in luggage from Reagan National Airport that was brought to the department’s attention in February 2023,” James Johnson, a spokesperson for the MWAA, said.

“With the assistance of Montgomery County Police, Samuel Otis Brinton, age 35, of Rockville, Maryland, was taken into custody Wednesday pending charges of Grand Larceny,” Johnson said.

Brinton was fired and arrested for felony theft after stealing women’s luggage and clothing worth over $2,000 from a baggage claim at an airport.

The crime was caught on surveillance video.

After pleading “no contest,” Brinton agreed to pay the victim more than $3,500 in restitution and received a suspended 180 jail sentence.

Brinton, who identifies as non-binary, is regularly seen wearing make-up and women’s clothing.

The victim of the crime was able to identify her stolen belongings.

Brinton will serve no time behind bars assuming he can stay out of trouble.

Under Biden, Sam Briton served as deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy.

Brinton identifies as the first openly gender-fluid individual in federal government leadership. Brinton uses “they and “them” pronouns instead of the traditional “he” and “him.”

The arrest warrant against Brinton was for grand larceny with a value between $1,200 and $5,000.

Investigators said, “Brinton demonstrated several signs of abnormal behavior while taking the victim’s luggage which are cues suspects typically give off when committing luggage theft.”

“Specifically, Brinton pulled the victim’s luggage from the carousel and examined the tag.”

“Then placing it back on the carousel, looking in all directions for anyone who might be watching, or might approach,” the report continued.

“Pulling it back off the carousel and demonstrating the same behavior by looking around before walking away with it quickly.”

“Brinton only having checked one piece of luggage, which Brinton had already claimed from the carousel, had no reason to be examining and taking any other pieces of luggage.”
