Newly Appointed California City Manager Arrested for Luxury Yacht Burglary Just THREE WEEKS After Taking $275K Top Job
The brand-new city manager of upscale Sausalito, California was arrested on felony burglary charges after allegedly breaking into multiple yachts at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor, a mere three weeks into her high-paying gig.
Elaine Forbes, 53, who just started as Sausalito’s city manager on July 1 with a whopping $275,000 taxpayer-funded annual salary, was hauled off by Marin County sheriff’s deputies around 6:50 a.m. on Saturday after responding to a noise complaint, KRON4 reported.
Deputies reportedly found her aboard a vessel she didn’t own, trying to start the boat, leaving behind messes with empty alcohol bottles, sounding the yacht’s loud horns, and even wearing the owner’s clothing. She initially claimed it was her boat and told officers she was having “a bad morning.”
Forbes, 53, was taken into custody after Captain Bill Aubrey discovered her aboard the Lisa Marie and called 911.
“She had the horn going, the windshield wipers going, the spotlight going,” Aubrey recalled.
According to Aubrey, Forbes appeared calm when confronted.
“I told her to get off the boat,” he said. “She looked at me and said, ‘Good morning.’ She was very friendly.”
Boat owner Andy Cunningham said she was shocked by what he found after being contacted by police.
“I came down here, police met me at the boat, and we discovered unbelievable chaos on my boat,” Cunningham said.
Cunningham said clothing had been removed from storage and appeared to have been tried on. She also reported food and alcohol had been consumed.
Forbes previously spent nine years as the Executive Director of the Port of San Francisco. She oversaw hundreds of employees, waterfront projects, seawall reinforcements, and sea-level rise planning. She stepped down from that role last year before landing the cushy Sausalito position.
Her family and a spokesperson are now claiming she was experiencing a “mental health crisis” and are urging the public to show “compassion” while the facts emerge.
“Elaine Forbes has devoted much of her life to public service and is widely respected by the many people who have worked with her over the years,” the family said in a statement to KRON4.
“We ask that no one rush to judgment based on limited information. Elaine is experiencing a mental health crisis. As the facts become clearer and Elaine obtains legal and healthcare counsel in the coming hours and days, we hope people will respond with compassion, patience and respect for her and her family during an extraordinarily difficult time.”
This comes just days after, while she was on a leave of absence. Forbes is now booked into Marin County Jail on $50,000 bail.
