Quality Seaside man gets probation after June standoff By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — A Seaside man will serve probation following a standoff with police in June. Shaun Mitchell Scarbor- ough, 28, pleaded no contest to one count of felon in posses- sion of a fi rearm and will serve three years of probation. A plea agreement with the Clat- sop County District Attorney’s Offi ce stipulates that he serve more than 3 1/2 years in prison if he violates probation . Scarborough allegedly held a kitchen knife to his throat for nearly two hours in early June as Seaside p olice attempted to arrest him at an apartment on South Columbia Street. After a standoff lasting more than an hour, he eventually was struck by a stun gun and arrested. Police initially responded to a report of a physical distur- bance between Scarborough and his mother at the apart- ment. But Scarborough was gone when police arrived, and no charges resulted from the original report. Each diagnosis of cancer is personal, and when it comes to treatment, one size does not fit all.

Don’t expect to get “high” off of this organic chemical, however. CBD is all relaxation without intoxication. While CBD still has an effect on your body, consuming CBD by itself isn’t going to send you on the cerebral adventure associated with THC. Preclinical trials over the past four decades have found that the cannabinoid shows promise as an: 1444 C ommerCial S t a Storia , or 503.468.0881 S weet r elief .
