Michael Hudson is accused of selling drugs in both Norwalk and Darien.

NORWALK, CT — Michael Hudson, a 27-year-old Norwalk resident already facing narcotics charges in Norwalk and Darien, was arrested on additional weapons charges Tuesday, according to police.

The Daily Voice reports that police arrested Hudson on a warrant Tuesday charging him on two counts of criminal gun possession. When he was initially arrested in July of last year, police found a handgun at his parents' home, prompting authorities to obtain the warrant on the additional charges.

Hudson was arrested in July following a foot and scooter chase in Norwalk. Police from the two communities had investigated heroin sales and discovered he was a suspect.
