Here are the top five stories in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton today:
- Officers with Oceanside Police Department were out on a mission to help drivers with the rising gas prices, handing out $50 bills to help drivers deal with pain at the pump.
"I have to pay for this pump and this truck and I get like 8 miles a gallon so I'm paying like $300 a week," said driver Dylan Garcia. But today was Garcia's lucky day. Oceanside officers gave away a total of $1,500 to unsuspecting drivers like Garcia and others just looking to fill up their tank. The law enforcement agency recently received a $20,000 grant from Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc. to make this possible. (FOX 5 San Diego) - Orange County Supervisor Lisa Bartlett has filed an official complaint against fellow Republican candidate Brian Maryott, accusing the former San Juan Capistrano mayor of lying to voters about his employment status. Maryott and Bartlett, along with Oceanside City Councilman Chris Rodriguez, are vying to unseat incumbent Rep. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) this November in California's 49th Congressional District race. (Coast News)
