January 1, Police Release Mugshot of Disgraced Ex-Biden Official

Police in Las Vegas, Nevada, have released the mugshot of Sam Brinton — the disgraced former Biden administration official — after Brinton surrendered to police on theft charges.

Brinton, who was recently fired from his position in the Department of Energy, was arrested and charged with felony grand larceny with a value between $1,200 and $5,000 for allegedly stealing luggage from Harry Reid International Airport.

Brinton, who is nonbinary and goes by they/them pronouns, was released on bail a short while later. Police said “stay out of trouble.”

Las Vegas police alleged that 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,” the report read. “Then placing 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. 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.”

If convicted, Brinton could face up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Brinton also faces felony charges for stealing another person’s luggage in Minnesota, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
