TSA Assistant Director of Federal Security Maxine McManaman reportedly was arrested in Atlanta in December on a warrant from the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Department.
Florida authorities claim that the couple forged signatures to a quitclaim document transferring ownership from a relative’s name to their own.
According to police, the relative who transferred property to McManaman & Chambers could not have signed a quitclaim deed because they were found in Atlanta at the time listed.
Chambers had been arrested in Port St. Lucie on December 20, charged with two counts each of exploitation and neglect of an older or disabled adult as well as two counts of forgery. He was eventually released from jail on bond.
McManaman faces a third degree felony forgery charge.
