According to Washington Examiner, a top Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official, Maxine McManaman, got arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Atlanta last week. The arrest happened because of an outstanding warrant from the Port St. Lucie Police in Florida. McManaman is charged with forgery, linked to exploiting a family member with dementia. The TSA put her on leave due to this non-work-related incident, stressing their commitment to high ethical standards.

The arrest is connected to claims that McManaman and her alleged partner, her father Delroy Chambers Sr., exploited a family member with dementia by faking documents, like a quitclaim deed. Investigations by Port St. Lucie Police revealed the family member couldn’t have signed the deed on the listed date, as they were in Atlanta then. Chambers faces charges, including exploitation, forgery, and neglect. Despite a previous arrest, he’s out on bond. McManaman is now in custody in Clayton County Jail, Georgia, awaiting extradition to St. Lucie County.
