TSA Assistant Federal Security Director Maxine McManaman was arrested in Atlanta by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Dec. 28.
McManaman had a warrant for her arrest posted by the St. Lucie County (Florida) Sheriff's Office, which claimed she and an alleged accomplice named Delroy Chambers Sr. exploited a relative suffering from dementia by falsifying documents in their name, according to Port St. Lucie Police.
The Florida authorities allege that the duo forged signatures on a quitclaim deed transferring ownership of a property in the relative's name over to themselves.
The relative whose property was transferred to McManaman and Chambers allegedly could not have signed the quitclaim deed, because the individual was found to have been in Atlanta on the date listed, according to police.
Delroy Chambers Sr. was arrested along with TSA Assistant Federal Security Director Maxine McManaman in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on Dec. 20 on charges of exploiting an elderly or disabled adult, forgery and simple neglect.
McManaman is facing a third-degree felony charge of forgery.
