The former Biden nuclear official who was axed late last year after they were caught red-handed in a string of luggage thefts was arrested at home this week, records show.
Samuel Brinton, 35, was taken into custody in Rockville, Maryland on Wednesday, daily arrest data from Montgomery County indicates.
Brinton – who is non-binary and uses they pronouns – was arrested on the 700 Block of College Parkway as a fugitive from justice.
Records show that Brinton’s husband, Kevin Reike, is registered at an address on the parkway.
The Montgomery County Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post request for a comment.
Someone claiming to be a neighbor of Brinton and Reike told The Daily Wire on Thursday that “four unmarked police showed up” at their residence last night, and escorted Brinton away in handcuffs an hour later.
News of Brinton’s alleged arrest comes one month after they pleaded no contest to charges stemming from the theft of a woman’s luggage at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport in July 2022.

In exchange for the plea deal, Brinton was ordered to pay the woman back and given a 180-day suspended jail sentence.
Days later, Brinton agreed to undergo a mental health evaluation as part of an adult diversion program at a hearing stemming from similar charges related to a theft at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Sept. 2022.
