    A system administrator for the House Committee on Transportation
    and Infrastructure was arrested and charged with stealing
    approximately 240 government-issued cellphones valued at more
    than $150,000.

    Christopher Southerland, 43, of Glen Burnie, Maryland, was
    arrested Friday and charged with theft of government property,
    according to a federal indictment unsealed in U.S. District
    Court in Washington, D.C.

    As a system administrator, Southerland was authorized to
    order cellphones for committee staff members, the Department
    of Justice said Monday in a news release.

    From January 2023 through May 2023, Southerland allegedly
    used his position to ship 240 new government cellphones to
    his home in Maryland.

    At the time, there were approximately 80 staff members on
    the Committee.
