Trump pardons Oregon ranchers who inspired refuge standoff
Ranchers were
convicted in fires
By JILL COLVIN and
ZEKE MILLER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Pres-
ident Donald Trump has par-
doned two ranchers whose
case sparked the armed occu-
pation of a national wildlife
refuge in Oregon.
Dwight and Steven Ham-
mond were convicted in 2012
of intentionally and mali-
ciously setting fires on public
lands. The arson crime carried
a minimum prison sentence of
five years, but a sympathetic

federal judge, on his last day
before retirement, decided the
penalty was too stiff and gave
the father and son much lighter
prison terms.
Prosecutors
won
an
appeal and the Hammonds
were resentenced in October
2015 to serve the mandatory
minimum.
The decision sparked a pro-
test from Ammon Bundy and
dozens of others, who occu-
pied the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge near the Ham-
mond ranch in southeastern
Oregon from Jan. 2 to Feb. 11,
2016, complaining the Ham-
monds were victims of federal
overreach.
The armed occupiers
changed the refuge’s name to
the Harney County Resource
Center, reflecting their belief
that the federal government
has only a very limited right to
own property within a state’s
borders.
Bundy was arrested during
a traffic stop, effectively end-
ing the protest. Another key
occupier, Robert “LaVoy” Fin-
icum, was fatally shot that day
by Oregon State Police.
In a statement today, White
House press secretary Sarah
Sanders called the decision
to resentence the Hammonds
“unjust.”
“The Hammonds are
devoted family men, respected
contributors to their local com-
munity, and have widespread
support from their neighbors,
local law enforcement, and
farmers and ranchers across
the West,” she said. “Justice
Scarborough: Plans to rid himself of bad influences

Neaman was taken by
ambulance to a hospi-
tal, where his spleen was
removed. He then was taken
via Life Flight to Oregon
Health & Science Univer-
sity in Portland for further
treatment.
Scarborough and Garfias
were arrested a week later in
La Mesa, California.
Scarborough originally
faced charges of first-de-
gree assault, second-degree
assault, first-degree rob-
bery, first-degree burglary
and felon in possession of a
firearm. He pleaded no con-
test to first-degree burglary
as part of an agreement with
the Clatsop County District
Attorney’s Office. The plea
means he does not accept
guilt but recognizes prose-
cutors have enough evidence
for a conviction.
‘My life’s fallen apart on
the street. It’s a long time,
but I do agree with this
plea petition.’
Shaun Scarborough
Seaside man who was sentenced to
more than 8 1/2 years in prison
Garfias was charged with
first-degree assault, sec-
ond-degree assault, first-de-
gree robbery and first-degree
burglary. She is scheduled
for a final resolution confer-
ence in August.
For the burglary charge,
Scarborough was sentenced
to five years in prison. He
will also serve a consecu-
tive sentence of more than 3
1/2 years for violating pro-
bation in a separate case in
which he was convicted of
being a felon in possession
of a firearm.
In that case, Scarborough
allegedly stood in a kitchen
and held a knife to his throat
for nearly two hours last year
as Seaside police attempted
to arrest him. After a stand-
off, he was struck by a stun
gun and arrested.
The standoff came after
a reported disturbance at
the apartment where Scar-
borough fled in a car. Police
found a handgun while
searching the car.
Scarborough reached a
plea deal with prosecutors in
that case to serve three years
probation and more than 3
1/2 years in prison if he vio-
lated the terms.
Scarborough said Mon-
day that, at the time of his
California arrest, he didn’t
know what he would tell
Circuit Court Judge Paula
Brownhill. He had appeared
in her courtroom for sentenc-
ing in the standoff less than
two weeks before the hotel
shooting.
“My life’s fallen apart
on the street,” Scarbor-
ough said. “It’s a long time,
but I do agree with this plea
petition.”
Scarborough said he plans
to use the prison time to kick
a drug addiction and rid him-
self of bad influences, adding
he wants to be able to take
care of his two children.
“I’ve got things to do,” he
said.
is overdue for Dwight and
Steven Hammond, both of
whom are entirely deserving
of these Grants of Executive
Clemency.”
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, an
Oregon Republican who sup-
ported the pardons, applauded
the president.
“Today is a win for justice,
and an acknowledgement of
our unique way of life in the
high desert, rural West,” the
congressman said in a state-
ment. “I applaud President
Trump for thoroughly review-
ing the facts of this case,
rightly determining the Ham-
monds were treated unfairly,
and taking action to correct
this injustice.
“For far too long, Dwight
and Steven Hammond have
been serving a mandatory min-
imum sentence that was estab-
lished for terrorists.”
The pardons are the latest
in a growing list of clemency
actions by Trump, who has
been using his pardon power
with increasingly frequency in
recent months.
Trump has been especially
pleased with news coverage
of his actions, which included
commuting the sentence of
Alice Johnson, a woman serv-
ing a life sentence for drug
offenses whose case had been
championed by reality tele-
vision star Kim Kardashian
West.
Suicide: Police had responded
to Barnhart’s suicidal threats
several times before her death
Continued from Page 1A
Clatsop Behavioral Health-
care, the county’s men-
tal health contractor, came
under scrutiny after Barnhart’s
suicide.
Astoria
police
had
responded to Barnhart’s sui-
cidal threats four times in the
months before her death. The
police had pulled her from the
bridge a week before her sui-
cide and taken her to Colum-
bia Memorial Hospital, where
she was seen by a doctor and
mental health worker and
released.
The suicide, documented by
The Daily Astorian, unearthed
long-standing concerns about
the quality of mental health
care in the county. Internal
and state reviews led to a man-
agement shake-up among top
administrators at the mental
health agency and promises to
improve crisis response.
The family’s lawsuit, filed
last year, alleged the men-
tal health agency was negli-
gent and sought $950,000 in
damages. The suit also named
Columbia Memorial and an
emergency room doctor, but
the hospital and doctor were
dismissed from the claim last
year. As part of the settlement,
Barnhart’s family agreed to
dismiss the county from the
suit.
Artanya Barnhart, one of
Barnhart’s daughters, who rep-
resented her mother’s estate,
also agreed she would not
publicly make any derogatory
remarks about the county to
the news media or on the inter-
net about the events alleged in
the legal action.
