Bill Conde, 55, was charged with a felony count of marijuana possession when Linn County sheriffs deputies found slightly more than an ounce of marijuana at his property near Harrisburg on Sept. 15th. Searching for drug records, authorities took computers that Conde said he uses to run his redwood lumber business, as well as to store political action committee information. - --- Checked-by: Patrick Henry
