Sausalito City Manager Elaine Forbes has been arrested in Sausalito while on a leave of absence. 

Forbes was taken into custody at 6:50 am Saturday morning in Sausalito. She was booked on criminal charges.

This is a difficult development for our City staff and our community. Because this is now an active and ongoing investigation by the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, the City will not comment on the specific allegations. For additional information, please contact the Marin County Sheriff’s Office. 

Previously, on Thursday, July 16, the Sausalito City Council met in closed session to approve a leave of absence for Forbes. The work of the City of Sausalito continues without interruption under the leadership of Acting City Manager Brandon Phipps and our dedicated municipal staff. It is anticipated the City Council will discuss next steps at its upcoming City Council meeting.
