43-year old Henry Hudson, Jr. was arrested and charged after Niagara Falls Police narcotics detectives executed a search warrant Friday morning at his Buffalo Avenue address.

The investigation started after detectives recieved information regarding heavy foot traffic at the residence through an anonymous tipline.

Falls' detectives were assisted by Border Patrol agents and his drug detection K-9 Bono 2. With the help of K-9 Bono 2, cash was located inside a dresser and narcotics were located in a laundry basket full of clothes. Other drug paraphernalia, such as a scale with residue and packaging materials, were located inside a vehicle.

During the search, detectives also located and recovered a bullpup shotgun inside the residence. Due to the Hudson having previous felony convictions, he is unable to legally possess any firearms.

Additional charges are pending.
