TSA Official Arrested on Charges of Exploiting Relative with Dementia
Maxine McManaman, a high-ranking TSA official, faces a third-degree felony charge of forgery for allegedly falsifying a quitclaim deed to exploit a family member with dementia.
- Maxine McManaman, a high-ranking official with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), was arrested on December 28, 2023, by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Atlanta, Georgia, on an outstanding warrant issued by the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office in Florida.
- The warrant alleges that McManaman and Delroy Chambers Sr. exploited a relative suffering from dementia by falsifying documents, specifically a quitclaim deed, to transfer ownership of a property in the relative's name to themselves.
- Authorities claim that the relative could not have signed the quitclaim deed as they were in Atlanta on the date listed, leading to the conclusion that McManaman and Chambers forged the signatures.
- Chambers was arrested on December 20, 2023, and charged with two counts of exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult, simple neglect, and two counts of forgery.
- McManaman, who has worked for the TSA since 2002 and held a management position, is facing a third-degree felony charge of forgery and has been placed on leave pending an investigation.
