- A prolific drug dealer in San Diego County was sentenced in federal court to 10 years in prison. Christopher Craig Jones was arrested in December 2020, by San Diego County Sheriff's deputies for possession of methamphetamine and fentanyl with intent to distribute. Then twice in September 2021, Jones was arrested by the Carlsbad Police Department for possession. A follow-up investigation resulted in the seizure of heroin, and methamphetamine. Jones, a career offender, with arrests and multiple convictions for drug dealing, entered a guilty plea on May 16, 2022. (Department of Justice)
- KNVS (pronounced Canvas) recently opened at The Fin Hotel Campus on Coast Hwy in Oceanside. KNVS is an innovative concept developed by Kevin Shin, where immersive-art-gallery meets restaurant and bar. KNVS will rotate its featured visual artist quarterly while the food and beverage team creates a coinciding menu inspired by the art on the walls. Kicking off the restaurant/art gallery experience is Oceanside local artist Margaret Alexis Chiaro debuting her collection The Floral Guild. (Coast News)
- A San Diego man drowned in Newport Harbor after trying to retrieve a cell phone that fell into the water over the weekend, the Orange County Register reported. 32-year-old Mathew Morrow was with family and friends on Lido Isle, which is a manmade island in the middle of the harbor on Sunday afternoon when someone in the group dropped the phone authorities said. Morrow attempted to retrieve the phone by jumping in the water, but never came back up, Orange County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Scott Steinle said. (San Diego Patch)
- San Diego County supervisors unanimously ratified a state of emergency Tuesday in response to the monkeypox outbreak to bolster vaccination efforts. The ratification follows a state declaration last week and will need to be ratified again every 30 days, as needed. The state of emergency declaration will allow the county to seek state assistance and use public health infrastructure for testing, contact tracing and case investigation. Several dozen public speakers argued in opposition to the declaration, with arguments sometimes delving into conspiracy theories and homophobia. The first case in the county was reported June 15. The virus has infected people ranging in age from 21 to 62. (San Diego Patch)
