As per reports, the stealing incident happened in September and Brinton was charged in October after a police investigation. Brinton had reportedly not checked in any luggage, but still went to the baggage carousel and took a woman’s expensive branded roller bag, full of her clothes and personal items, and went to a hotel.
On September 16, a woman passenger alerted authorities at the Minneapolis St Paul International Airport about her missing baggage. She had boarded a Delta flight from New Orleans and when she went to collect her baggage at the carousel, it was missing.
This story is somehow far, far, far crazier than even the headline. Dude didn't check baggage for a flight, yet went to the carousel, took a woman's Vera Bradley rollerbag, and checked it on his next few flights. https://t.co/ZPhJOAfWpN

As per reports, the officials at the MSP airport confirmed that her baggage had arrived, but had gone missing from carousel 7. CCTV footage showed Sam Brinton removing the woman’s blue Vera Bradley designer roller bag from the carousel. Brinton was seen on camera removing the baggage tag, placing it into his handbag and leaving the airport quickly.
Brinton was tracked by the investigating authorities. He had taken a cab to a hotel, had stayed there and had left for Washington DC later. He had even gone on a trip to Europe taking the bag. On October 9, when Brinton was called by the police and asked about the bag, he replied that he may have taken the wrong bag, but the clothes inside were his.
He then called the police back 2 hours later and apologised for ‘not being completely honest’. He then claimed that he had taken the bag because he thought it was his.
The woman victim had stated in the complaint that the clothes and personal items inside the bag were worth around $2325.
Brinton had claimed that he had left the clothes at the hotel room and had left with only the bag, but no clothes were recovered from the hotel and despite providing instructions on how to return the bag to the victim, the victim had not received the bag from Brinton until October 27.
Brinton is now scheduled to appear in court on December 29 in Hennepin County. Brinton is reportedly on official leave and his lawyers have not responded to US media calls for a statement.
