KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — Authorities have arrested a Kelseyville man who they said was responsible for the armed robbery last week of the Soda Bay Market.

Bryan Albert Bouchard, 57, was taken into custody on May 29, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

At 4 p.m. Friday, May 24, the sheriff’s office responded to a silent panic alarm triggered by the store clerk at Soda Bay Market.

The clerk told deputies that a robbery had just occurred. More than $2,000 in cash and merchandise was stolen.

Deputies reviewed the surveillance footage, which showed the subject wearing a white motorcycle helmet and using what appeared to be a handgun to commit the robbery.

Before deputies could arrive, the subject fled on a motorcycle towards Buckingham.

Using the automated license plate reader cameras in the area, a deputy reviewed all motorcycles that had traveled in the area of the robbery during the days prior.

The deputy found a matching motorcycle with a rider wearing what appeared to be the same helmet and having a similar build to the robbery suspect.

A records check using the motorcycle's license plate found a registered owner and Bouchard’s address. The deputy drove past the registered owner’s house and located the motorcycle.

On Wednesday, May 29, deputies and detectives served a search warrant at the residence in the 5000 block of Vista Drive in Kelseyville. They recovered $461 in cash, tobacco, rolling papers, and other evidence related to the robbery.

Bouchard was arrested and transported to the Hill Road Correctional Facility, where he was booked on multiple charges related to second-degree robbery.

Those charges included felonies of a masked criminal in possession of firearm in public, grand theft, second-degree burglary and robbery, and misdemeanor exhibiting a concealed firearm in public.

His bail was set at $25,000, and jail records indicate he later posted the required portion and was released.

Bouchard was arraigned on Friday and is due to return to court for entry of plea on Tuesday, according to Lake County Superior Court records.
