The Wisconsin judge who was arrested by the FBI for allegedly helping a man escape immigration authorities was indicted by a federal grand jury.
In the two-page indictment issued Tuesday, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was accused of obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest. She faces two charges carrying a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $350,000 fine.

The indictment comes after the FBI arrested Dugan in late April, accusing her of “concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest” and obstructing or impeding a proceeding. Dugan was suspended from her position by the state Supreme Court on April 29.
