A woman on a sidewalk across the street wasn’t sure who he was talking to but was scared and called 911, Butcher said. Officers eventually located the same man at Dennys restaurant where he was shouting the manager from inside the bushes he had jumped into, according to Butcher. Arthur C. Bass, 63, was booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to the Centralia Police Department.
