Livermore police reports describe choking and dragging of his 5-year-old son, while prosecutors oppose diversion and the sheriff's office conducts an internal investigation.
• Director Sanwong faces challenge from committee chair Henry for East Bay Parks Ward 5 (pleasantonweekly.com) — An upcoming East Bay Regional Park District election will help decide how parks serving Livermore, including Lake Del Valle and Doolan Canyon access, are managed and funded.
