The non-binary former Energy Department official who was caught on video stealing luggage was ordered to pay $3,670 to the victim and given a suspended sentence of 180 days in prison after pleading 'no contest' to theft.

Samuel Brinton, 35, who uses they/them pronouns was issued their sentence Wednesday in Las Vegas, Nevada, eight months after they grabbed a passenger's bags inside Harry Reid International Airport.

Brinton was facing misdemeanor theft charges, which amount to less than $1,200 in stolen items. They had originally faced a felony theft charge since police said the amount stolen was $3,670.

Brinton - who was responsible for nuclear fuel and radioactive waste - was also told by a judge to stay out of trouble, according to Las Vegas court records.

A suspended sentence means the former Energy Department employee will not be forced immediately to serve a jail or prison term and may be required to complete probation.

So, he was let out of a felony because they didnt think the goods were worth $3600, then he's ordered to pay $3600 for the worth of the goods.

Yea, makes sense.
