As previously reported, Celebrezze was charged in December 2025.
She submitted her resignation on the same day, WOIO-19 reported.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley said Celebrezze filed a journal entry on Jan. 19, 2023, saying she had been randomly assigned to a case.
“Integrity on the bench is not optional. Anything less erodes the foundation of our courts and our justice system,” O’Malley said.
The Cleveland Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office conducted the investigation.
