- Authorities contacted Brinton that same day, asking if he “took anything that did not belong” to him.
- “Not that I know of,” Brinton allegedly responded but later admitted he took the bag that had clothes inside belonging to him.
- “If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don’t have any clothes for another individual. That was my clothes when I opened the bag,” he told police, according to the complaint.
