Police find 47 weapons, 26,000 rounds of ammo in home of judge charged with killing wife

Orange County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson, 72, shot his wife dead at their home in the upscale neighbourhood of Anaheim Hills, California, police allege

A judge accused of shooting his wife dead had 47 weapons in his house, it is reported.

Orange County, California Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson, 72, was arrested last week after his adult son called 911 to report his mother, Sheryl Ferguson, had been shot at the family’s home in the upscale neighbourhood of Anaheim Hills, the district attorney’s office said in a statement.

The shooting of the 65-year-old woman reportedly occurred at the house at about 8pm local time. Police rushed to the property but emergency responders pronounced the woman dead at the scene. Ferguson was released a day later on $1 million bail.

Prosecutors want additional bail conditions because authorities recovered 47 weapons including rifles, shotguns, and handguns, and more than 26,000 rounds of ammunition during a search of his home. A rifle registered in his name is not accounted for, the statement said.
