Max Cross

Max Cross, 22, a Lewis County resident with no permanent address, is described as 5-feet 8-inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds, with black hair and blue eyes.

Deputies have not been able to confirm his welfare or his whereabouts and are concerned for his safety, the sheriff’s office stated in a news release this morning.

Deputies were called about 1:30 a.m. on Friday about a dispute at the 300 block of Big Hanaford Road, according to the news release. Information from witnesses led deputies to think Cross was taken against his will, the news release states.

Cross often frequents locations in Centralia, according to the sheriff’s office.

Further details were not readily available.

The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information on Cross or what occurred the night of the dispute to call 360-748-9286 or Lewis County crime Stoppers at 1-800-748-6422.
