A former judge shot and killed himself when FBI agents arrived at his Orange County home to arrest him Tuesday, police sources tell CBS News New York.

A quiet condominium complex along Route 416 in Campbell Hall quickly turned into a chaotic scene. A big police response was seen at the Blackburne Homes complex, where Stewart Rosenwasser, a former county court judge, took his own life.

Rosenwasser, who resigned from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office in June, was accused in an indictment unsealed Tuesday of taking approximately $63,000 in bribes to leverage his position in the DA’s office to investigate two people.
