Surveillance footage captured Brinton taking the Vera Bradley luggage from the carousel at around 4:45 p.m. after Brinton arrived at the airport on an American Airlines flight from Washington, DC, the court documents allege.The complaint also says records from American Airlines showed Brinton never checked a bag before they left Washington, DC.
