A veteran FBI agent who led offices in Arizona and Alabama would soon become the first woman to head the FBI's San Francisco division that covers 15 counties from Monterey to the Oregon border, an agency spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Charlene Thornton would replace Joe Ford, who led the San Francisco office from August 2005 to April, when he was assigned to FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. Ford recently was chosen as the agency's associate deputy director, the third-ranking official.
FBI Director Robert Mueller formally designated Thornton for her new assignment as particular agent in charge on Aug. 4. Her start date has not yet been resolute, said Special Agent LaRae Quy, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco division. Arthur Balizan has been acting as the office's chief.
