A reserve police officer for the city of Tenino was arrested today for possession of child porn.
The 38-year-old Olympia resident is also currently employed as a community corrections officer with the state Department of Corrections, according to the Washington State Patrol.
State patrol detectives searched his home computer today after getting a search warrant.
Michael C. Boone, 38, Olympia, was arrested after being interviewed at his workplace in Olympia today, according to Sgt. James Mjor.
The case was handled by the state patrol’s Missing and Exploited Childrens Task Force. Mjor is the current acting lieutenant for the unit.
The investigation began with a tip from Microsoft.
Security officers at the Redmond company noticed the electronic signature of well-known and frequently-traded images of child pornography on Boone’s Microsoft SkyDrive account, according to the Washington State Patrol.
SkyDrive is like cloud storage for a person’s photos, documents and other files, which one can access from multiple of their devices.
They turned the information over to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who forwarded it to the state patrol task force, Mjor said.
The task force said this afternoon it had no indication any child porn was stored on Boone’s work computer, but seized it for a forensic examination, and also seized his Tenino Police Department-issued smart phone.
The tip came in last week and initially was just an IP address, Mjor said.
Detectives went to speak with Boone, to see if he had any information he could help them out with, he said. While they were talking with him, other detectives were serving the search warrant at his home for his computer, he said.
Boone was booked into the Thurston County Jail for possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Tenino Mayor Bret Brodersen placed Boone on administrative leave.
As disgusting as this guy’s mind may be, he had no criminal record and there is no ‘victim’ where he is the proximate cause of the injury. The greater threat by far, I would suggest, is Microsoft and the thought police.

Mmmmmm…Silicon. I’ll have a 10-piece box of Silicon McNuggets with two pink slimeburgers. And a 30 oz. Diet Pepsi. I’m on a diet.
Wow. Funny you should mention Mcdonalds. They are putting Silicon in their Chicken Mc. Nuggets. And yes i wouldnt trust them anymore. Just imagine if your wife pissed in your spaghetti and told you she did after you ate it. Would you trust her home cooked meals ever again? Same goes for the police i have seen and heard enough. Until they get body cameras and dash cameras here in Centralia there word is nothing. Just a couple of years ago a Centralia police officer killed a cat with a hammer and our own city council member and pastor shot his neighbors cat. So it goes to show you those with the power are very sick. like Wow.
If an McDonalds employee shot an unarmed black man or had child porn would you distrust all McDonalds employees?
When you see things like this in the news it makes me think twice about trusting Law Enforcement. Not to get off subject but this makes me think twice about the Bo Rupert and Mike Lowery Incident. It could be true. Just yesterday a cop shot a man in the back several times while running away. Then the cop lied on his report its getting harder and harder each day to trust these police criminals when their constantly in the news for these crimes. Lets give members of the public the benefit of the doubt before we trust these police Gang Members that are sick in the heads and on power trip. When will the Centralia Pd get Dash Cameras And wear body cameras. This is not a isolated incident its now happening daily. It sucks for all the good cops. But if you keep protecting you thugs in Blue your just as guilty. If your a good cop turn in the dirty cops. Uphold your Oath to the people you have sworn to. protect. Be careful Bo Rupert.

Administrative leave how about fired then stung up by the neck u piece of shit. They hired this man to hold the community to a set of standards. When I took a oath to defend our country against enemys foreign and domestic this sum bag is what they had n mind.Again I say string him up by the neck.
If he’s found guilty, life in prison is going to be hell on earth, one he will have earned every moment of.
may he rot in Hell
Oh Boy, Mr. Boone is going to dislike prison if he’s found guilty. Lover of child porn, jail gaurd and cop, not a good combo…..
Too bad microsoft is now internet policing but cant say too much if it catches bad guys…
