Hudson had approximately 120 grams of methamphetamine in his vehicle, which he admitted to possessing and intending to sell for money. The stop was conducted by a law enforcement officer in Huntington, and the meth was found in the handbag of Hudson’s passenger. Hudson asked his passenger to hold the meth for him, and he planned to exchange it for cash.
The Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force and the Huntington Police Department investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie Taylor. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed a sentence of five years in prison, followed by four years of supervised release.
Hudson’s guilty plea was part of the agreement, and he admitted to the crimes. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia announced the sentence. Related court documents can be found on PACER by searching for Case No. 3:25-cr-195.
The sentence is a significant blow to methamphetamine distribution in the area. Law enforcement agencies continue to work together to combat drug crimes in West Virginia.
