CAMPBELL HALL, New York (WABC) -- A former prosecutor and retired judge in Orange County, NY killed himself Tuesday as the FBI arrived at his home to arrest him.

Authorities arrived at Stewart Rosenwasser's home in Campbell Hall to arrest him as part of a corruption case, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Rosenwasser had been under investigation for taking bribes.

"I was standing by the front door, my friend went outside the front door and they screamed at us to get in the house," said Orange County resident Linn Cartagena.

It appears there was an exchange of gunfire at the suspect's home, according to the FBI, which the following statement:

"The FBI is reviewing an agent-involved shooting that occurred earlier this morning in Campbell Hall, NY. The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI's Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide."

Rosenwasser has been charged with abusing the authority of his job at the Orange County DA's office by accepting $63,000 in bribe payments to investigate and prosecute two individuals who are related to the man who allegedly paid the bribes, Mout'z Soudani.

Federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York declined to comment.

Every man has his price. $63,000 was his.

Probably something more going on that he wanted to avoid.

Funny how you have all the "no comment" BS from the FBI but they let it be known that someone would pay 150K to off Trump.

Sentencing himself to death for corruption is a bit extreme. Nobody gets the death penalty for corruption.

Mr. Rosenwasser probably figured he was a dead man if he went to prison, considering how many guys he sent up the river are now doing time.

Reasonable response to try and move this matter along and save everyone the effort to try him.

Considerate of the fellow for sure.

Suicide is a definitive solution to many, many problems. It should be practiced as a normal thing. But make it as painless as possible for the survivors.

 

[Grumpyolman]

Crooked, biased DA’s and judges in New York? Must be some kind of an epidemic.

It is sad, but, the FBI has so shamed itself, that I immediately doubt the story.

If only there were some vast collection of all the world's information at our fingertips..

In this case we have the biased lib news media to inform us by omission

Yes, I am aware that's the lie you made up out of thin air to affirm your delusions.

Its based on experience

 

[BackAgain]

Assuming he had been corrupt before retiring, his suicide is a matter of huge indifference to me. No sympathy.
