A former Orange County town justice pleaded guilty to charges she lied on a home loan application for property she needed to satisfy her residency requirement, as well as a related obstruction charge for providing false documents during an investigation, the office of the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York announced late Thursday.

“As she admitted in court today, Lurlyn Winchester, in an attempt to fraudulently satisfy a residency requirement for a judgeship, lied and provided fake documents to secure a mortgage,” U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said in a statement. “She then lied to FBI task force officers and provided them with fake documents in an attempt to cover up that crime. Winchester’s lack of integrity and honesty did not merit a term on the bench. Her crimes will likely earn her a term in prison.”
