The Waterford Police Department said 59-year old David Alan Hudson was arrested last Friday by a special operations unit after he allegedly broke into a home on Drake Road in Farmington.

A search of Hudson's Waterford Twp. home led to the discovery of firearms and other items that were stolen from homes in Waterford, Troy, Farmington, Milford, Keego Harbor and a number of other area communities, police said.

Officers also seized two handguns, some burglary tools and crack cocaine from the home.

Hudson is charged with Home Invasion - Second Degree, which is a 15-year felony, and Possession of Burglary Tools, a 10-year felony. Seven other counts filed against him include several counts of Felony Firearm, Convicted Felon in Possession of Ammunition, and Cocaine Possession.
