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. What every patient does
have in common is the need to receive high-quality care.

Q: What is CBD?
A:
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most
prevalent chemical compounds in the cannabis
plant. Unlike the more famous molecule,
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is completely
nonpsychoactive. 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:

CBD is often used by patients in the form of an oil.
Patients with more chronic conditions such as cancer
and epilepsy often use medical cannabis oil extracted
from high-CBD varieties of cannabis.
