Boylan, 28, of Chehalis, a bartender at the Tower Tavern on Tower Avenue in Centralia, according to Brown.

I agree George, especially since W High St. is not even a through street! It’s what, about 2 blocks? The outlets and AMPM…
They sure seem to be catching a lot of people around W High St in Centralia in possession of heroin and other major hard drugs…. One would think that they would do some further investigating in that local area….
