Detectives with the State Patrol’s Missing Exploited Children Task Force and the Centralia Police Department arrested Bouck about 6 a.m. Wednesday after serving a search warrant at his home, on North Oak Street, according to the news release.

Bouck was booked at the Lewis County Jail on Wednesday on one charge of investigation of possession of images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He was being held without bail Thursday night at the jail, according to a jail booking roster.
