In a recent development, Brinton, a non-binary gender-fluid individual who made headlines last year after being appointed to the position in charge of nuclear waste policy in the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Administration, has been arrested. This arrest comes a month after Brinton managed to avoid jail time in two separate cases related to luggage theft in Nevada and Minnesota.
