Rochester, New York, City Court Judge Leticia Astacio, who could be stripped of her judgeship next month by the Court of Appeals in the wake of a DWI conviction in 2016, is now being charged in a separate incident for allegedly attempting to illegally purchase a gun in April, a special prosecutor has said.

Seneca County District Attorney Barry Porsch, who was appointed to look into the matter, announced late Tuesday that a grand jury has filed a one-count indictment charging Astacio with attempted criminal purchase or disposal of a weapon, a class D felony.
