Can you give me the word culprit in a sentence?

Answer 1

An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective which follows a direct object and renames it or tells what the direct object has become. Example sentence:

They named my husband the culprit.

The noun culprit renames the direct object, husband.

Answer 2

As it turns out, Johnny was the culprit, as he did steal the money.
