Pot club owner seeks $2 million for raids

OAKDALE — The owner of a medical marijuana dispensary raided by police last summer has filed claims seeking about $2 million from the city of Oakdale and Stanislaus County.

Addison DeMoura, who owns Oakdale Natural Choice Collective Inc., was arrested after county drug enforcement agents and the Oakdale Police Department raided the dispensary and his home on July 31. He has not been charged.

The claims seek compensation for lost revenue, legal costs, damage to the home and business, and marijuana and equipment seized or destroyed during the raids.

Driver text-messaged before crash, says CHP

REDDING — The CHP says a woman who crashed into a line of cars at a construction site in Shasta County last year and killed another driver was sending text messages on her cell phone at the time.

The report by the California Highway Patrol says Deborah Matis-Engle, of Shingletown, was driving 66 mph and text-messaging just before the crash last August. Matis-Engle, 48, pleaded not guilty Monday to manslaughter charges in Shasta County Superior Court.
