DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. — A Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) investigation into an illicit marijuana grow in Curtin culminated in the detention of 8 people on Wednesday. Two were arrested.
Armed with a search warrant obtained after an investigation established the likelihood of illegal activity, DINT detectives executed the search warrant, with assistance from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, at approximately 3:00 PM.

- 47-year-old Shaun Borg: Also suspected to be responsible for the marijuana plants, as well as the alleged methamphetamine found at the scene, Borg, a previously convicted felon, was also in possession of 4 firearms despite being prohibited from possessing firearms under Oregon law. He is charged with Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, and Unlawful Manufacture of Marijuana, as well as four counts of Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
Borg was arrested and lodged at the Douglas County Jail.
