It could not be immediately determined if Foulk had an attorney.
Foulk was appointed director of Napa State Hospital in 2007. Hospital officials declined to comment.
“We did not know anything about this until Long Beach police came to the hospital and arrested him this morning,” said Nancy Kincaid, spokeswoman for the California Department of Mental Health.
She noted the alleged incidents predated Foulk's arrival at Napa State Hospital.
“He was not in one-on-one contact with patients,” Kincaid said. “He had no clinical hospital privileges, so he wouldn't have been offering treatment.”
Dr. Stephen W. Mayberg, director of the state mental health department, said Foulk had been fired.
Napa State Hospital Administrator Dolly Matteucci is serving as acting executive director while the department searches for Foulk's replacement, Kincaid said.
At the time of Foulk's appointment to Napa State Hospital he was lauded for his lengthy career in mental health services in both the private and public sectors.
Prior to taking the position in Napa, Foulk worked for the state Department of Mental Health as the Chief of Program, Policy and Fiscal Support, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported. Before that, he held positions as chief executive officer and chief operating officer of private community acute psychiatric hospitals, including CPC Horizon Hospital and Clinic in Pomona and CPC Alhambra Psychiatric Hospital in Rosemead, according to a Department of Mental Health news release.
Napa State Hospital is one of the largest state mental health facilities in the United States, with about 1,260 beds for patients. Many of the hospital's patients come from the criminal justice system – including those found not guilty by reason of insanity. No juveniles or child molesters are treated at Napa.
