James Verombeck Pleads Guilty, Found Not Criminally Responsible In 2019 Murder Of Tyrique Hudson

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) -- A 54-year-old man pleaded guilty and was then found not criminally responsible in the murder of a 22-year-old man in Glen Burnie in 2019, the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office said this week.

James Verombeck is expected to be housed at a secure psychiatric hospital in Jessup after a forensic psychiatrist determined he was suffering from schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder.

Verombeck fatally shot Tyrique Hudson on April 15, 2019. He was arrested following a nine-hour standoff with police.

The state's attorney's office said Verombeck told detectives he believed Hudson had been spying on him from his apartment one floor above.
