Former Washington County judge Paul Pozonsky’s motion to suppress evidence in the criminal case against him was denied.
Pozonsky, who is accused of stealing cocaine seized in police investigations, was challenging the legality of the manner in which evidence against him was secured when an administrative order from President Judge Debbie O’Dell Seneca was used to search his chambers May 9, 2012. Pozonsky is charged with conflict of interest, theft, obstruction of justice, possession of a controlled substance and misapplying government property. A trial is planned for March 2015.
Pozonsky, 58, resigned from his seat in June 2012 after he was removed from hearing criminal cases by O’Dell Seneca when reports surfaced he was being investigated by a state grand jury. He spent nearly 15 years on the bench as a Washington County judge and previously served 13 years as a district magistrate in Cecil Township and McDonald. He now lives near Anchorage, Alaska, and remains free on a $25,000 unsecured bond.
