A 29-year-old St Joseph man will not face charges for shooting an intruder in his south side home.  But, 29-year-old Christopher Prudden was charged with possession of a controlled substance.  Prudden told police 27-year-old Joshua Smith broke into his home September 6th, after an ongoing argument.

Smith remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds.  He’s been charged with 2nd Degree Burglary.

Bond was set at $25,000 for both men.  Both were scheduled for arraignment September 9. Prudden’s roommate, who was taken into custody, has not been charged and was released pending further investigation.

Commander Jim Connors says the entire case is still under investigation.
