When they tried to speak with the driver, the driver drove away, according to the report.The report states that officers were later able to successfully pull over the driver in the 800 block of South Rock Island Road and found Hudson “concealing himself in the back seat.”As of Monday morning, Hudson was being held without bond in the Broward Main Jail.
