Retired Judge Stewart Rosenwasser kills self at Orange County home as FBI arrive to arrest him
A former prosecutor and retired judge in Orange County, New York, killed himself Tuesday as the FBI arrived at his home to arrest him.
Authorities arrived at Stewart Rosenwasser's house in Campbell Hall, a senior retirement community, in connection to a corruption case, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Rosenwasser, 72, had been under investigation for allegedly taking $63,000 in bribes.
Sources say Rosenwasser pointed a gun at an agent who fired a shot. Rosenwasser then barricaded himself and it is believed he fatally shot himself.
A federal grand jury indicted Rosenwasser on bribery charges, accusing him of launching an investigation in 2022 when he was working in the District Attorney's office to help a longtime associate. The man, known as Marty Soudani, accused his nephew of stealing nearly $2 million from him.
