Ferguson's wife was pronounced dead at the scene. Ferguson was arrested and police officer Andrew Compton said he heard him making unsolicited statements.Ferguson has been a judge since 2015. He started his legal career in the Orange County district attorney’s office in 1983, worked on narcotics cases for which he won various awards, and served as president of the North Orange County Bar Association from 2012 to 2014.
