Recently, shocking video footage of two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents allegedly stealing money from passengers' luggage has been released by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.
According to Insider, the video appears to show the two agents at Miami International Airport taking money from the luggage that passengers placed at an airport security checkpoint. In response, officials arrested Labarrius Williams (33), Josue Gonzalez (20) and Elizabeth Fuster (22). While Fuster was initially charged, the charges against her have since been dropped.
The three TSA workers were arrested after airport authorities contacted a police detective to investigate the thefts. Surveillance footage revealed several instances in which Williams and Gonzalez appeared to conspire to steal money from the luggage of passengers who came through the checkpoint.
In a June 29 video, one of the agents can be seen looking as if he is taking something out of a luggage tray and then placing it in his pocket. In another video, the same person is seen taking out a wallet from a zipped bag and putting it in his pocket. CBS News Miami reported that the TSA agents allegedly took $600 from one passenger's wallet. The footage also revealed that all three were seen conspiring to commit more thefts.
Following the incident, a TSA spokesperson said in a written statement, “We actively and aggressively investigated these allegations of misconduct and presented our findings to the Miami Dade Police Department, and are working closely with them. Any employee who fails to meet our fundamental ethical standards is held accountable.”
Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts records show that the two agents were charged with grand theft in the third degree. Gonzalez has agreed to a deferred prosecution program, while Williams has opted to go to trial, which is slated to start October 23.
