A teenager wanted in connection with a home invasion that happened in St. Albans earlier this week has been arrested.

Cody Hudson was taken into police custody after a short foot pursuit about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to a release from the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office. He was arrested on outstanding warrants for robbery, burglary and wanton endangerment.

Hudson was taken to the South Central Regional Jail where he remains on a $150,000 cash only bond.

That home invasion happened early Monday morning at a home on Maryland Avenue in St. Albans.

Nick Trent Hanson was arrested earlier this week and faces the same charges in connection to the incident.

If you have any information that could assist in the investigation, call the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office at 304-357-0169.




Kanawha County deputies need your help to find Cody Alexander Hudson, 18, of St. Albans.

Warrants for Hudson's arrest have been issued for first degree robbery, wanton endangerment, and burglary.

Hudson is believed to still be in the St. Albans area.

Though detectives say they have made contact with him and asked him to turn himself in, he is still at large, they say.

The charges stem from an alleged home invasion on Maryland Avenue near St. Albans on January 6, 2012.

KBI detectives arrested Nick Trent Hanson, 18, of St. Albans, and charged him with burglary, robbery and wanton endangerment in connection with the same home invasion

According to the victim’s, they woke up to noises in the home, to see the two suspects using handguns to force another home occupant into a bedroom. They say a one year old infant was in that same room sleeping.

The suspects were attempting to steal items to sell for narcotics, according to deputies.

The home owner dialed 911 and the suspects fled. Once outside, they fired several rounds into the home with the infant and other occupants still inside. The bullets penetrated the walls inside the home, deputies said.
