To many, Samuel Aaron Brabson was known as a triathlete known for taking women on long hikes in the mountains as a means to seduce them. To others, Brabson was known as a sympathetic victim of a tragic accident who was bound to a wheelchair.

Now, to the Commonwealth of Virgina, Brabson is known as "inmate."

Brabson, a resident of Henrico County, was arrested by Virginia State Police in 2006 after an investigation revealed he was fraudulently receiving goods and services from the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services (DRS). Brabson blamed a 2005 car accident for aggravating previous neck injuries received in a 2001 crash when he was hit from behind by a truck.
