ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FL - Assistant Federal Security Director Maxine McManaman from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was arrested after a warrant for her arrest was issued in Florida.
The warrant for McManaman was posted by the St. Lucie County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office, which claimed she and Delroy Chambers Sr., her alleged accomplice, exploited a relative suffering from dementia by falsifying documents in the relative's name, the Port St. Lucie police said.
Evidence shows two signatures on the back of the document, both listed as “grantor.” One signature was allegedly McManaman’s and had the letters “POA” — or power of attorney — in front of it. The other signature allegedly belonged to Chambers.
However, according to court documents, the deed required the signature of someone else who was not there when it was signed.
St. Lucie police said it “was determined that the grantor could not have signed the document on the date specified since the grantor” was determined to be in Atlanta that day.
McManaman and Chambers “were determined to have both falsified” the deed, according to police.
Chambers was reportedly arrested in Port St. Lucie on Dec. 20, 2023, on two counts of exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult — $50,000 or more, two counts of forgery, and simple neglect of an elderly or disabled adult. Chambers has since bonded out of jail, police said.
The Florida authorities allege that the duo forged signatures on a quitclaim deed transferring ownership of a property in the relative's name to themselves.
Chambers was previously arrested on Dec. 20 in Port St. Lucie, charged with two counts of exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult, simple neglect, and two counts of forgery. He eventually bonded out of jail.
McManaman is facing a third-degree felony charge of forgery.
According to local reports, McManaman has been an employee of the TSA since November 2002 and held a management-level position at the airport.
She is being held in the Clayton County Jail awaiting extradition to St. Lucie County, according to St. Lucie police.
In response to the incident, a TSA spokesperson said, "TSA holds its employees to the highest professional and ethical standards and has no tolerance for misconduct on or off duty.”
