Jeffrey Ferguson was arrested late Thursday after police received reports of a shooting in an Anaheim Hills home and found the judge’s wife, Sheryl Ferguson, suffering from at least one gunshot wound, Anaheim police said.
She was pronounced dead at the scene in the upscale neighborhood. The 72-year-old judge was arrested and booked into an Orange county jail in lieu of $1m bail.
He’s expected to appear in court on Monday. Ferguson has not been formally charged.
No additional details were released.
Online property records show Ferguson and Sheryl, 65, as occupants of the home in the 8500 block of East Canyon Vista Drive. The LA Times reported a son of Ferguson and his wife was at the home during the shooting.
A message was sent to Anaheim police asking whether Ferguson has an attorney.

For over three decades, Ferguson worked with the Orange county district attorney’s office, as part of a team prosecuting drug crimes, according to the North Orange county bar association. Ferguson served as president of the association from 2012 to 2014.
