Sausalito City Manager Elaine Forbes Arrested After Yacht Harbor Break-In
Prosecutors plan four misdemeanor charges as officials investigate break-ins at three vessels and set Forbes’ bail at $50,000.
- On Tuesday, Sausalito City Manager Elaine Forbes appeared in court to face burglary charges stemming from her Saturday arrest at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor for allegedly breaking into vessels.
- Forbes had held the city manager position for less than three weeks following her July 1 appointment when family spokesperson Sam Singer stated she suffered a "genuine mental health breakdown and crisis."
- Prosecutors allege Forbes unlawfully entered the Lisa Marie and Sea Dog, stealing clothing; witness Bill Aubrey confronted her aboard a 75-foot cabin cruiser after finding her locked inside.
- The court delayed her arraignment until Wednesday and set bail at $50,000, while Assistant City Manager Brandon Phipps was named interim city manager during the investigation.
- Former mayor Michael Lappert questioned the city's background check processes, while the City of Sausalito called the arrest a "difficult development"; Forbes remains on leave since July 16.
