BURGLARY SUSPECT BOOKED, ANOTHER AT LARGE
• Deputies arrested one person yesterday and are looking for a second individual in connection with an interrupted burglary to a garage on the 2400 block of Seminary Hill Road in Centralia that occurred on Monday morning. According to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office, a 56-year-old resident leaving his home around 8 a.m. noticed a vehicle parked down the road and had forgotten something so he returned home. He found two men in his garage who “plowed by him” to exit, according to the sheriff’s office. He tried to keep them from leaving and they fought back to get away, Sgt. Rob Snaza said. The burglars fled, but the man wrote down their license plate on his hand, according to Snaza. The sheriff’s office contacted Brad J. Christian, 41, of Centralia, yesterday and booked him into the Lewis County Jail for first-degree burglary, according to Snaza. They are looking for his companion, Henry M. Reilly, 50, of Centralia, who may be in the Cinebar area, Snaza said.
