Sam Brinton, the non-binary former Biden Energy official, ended the year as a free man even though he faces charges for allegedly stealing luggage.

Brinton did not receive prison time in luggage stealing cases in Minneapolis and Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas judge gave Brinton a 180-day suspended jail sentence. He had to pay the victim $3,671 and $500 in other fees.

Brinton traveled to Las Vegas on a secret tax-payer-funded trip.

In Minneapolis, Brinton has to undergo an adult diversion program involving a mental health evaluation. He must also give the victim an apology letter and return any stolen property.

Brinton still faces charges in a third case.
