LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A former Department of Energy official has pleaded no contest after a woman accused them of stealing her luggage at Harry Reid International Airport.
That's according to court records.
Sam Brinson is a former deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition with the U.S. Office of Nuclear Energy.
The alleged incident happened in December.
Court records show Brinson was facing a charge of theft with a value less than $1,200.
A Nevada judge ruled Brinson must pay $3,670.74 in restitution to the victim, spend 180 days in jail, and stay out of trouble.
Brinson is facing similar charges in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
