• DUI Checkpoint Scheduled Friday In Carlsbad (patch.com) — Carlsbad drivers should be aware that police will run a DUI checkpoint Friday night from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. at an undisclosed location in the city. Officers will screen for alcohol and drug impairment, stressing safety and the steep financial and license penalties for first-time DUI offenses. The operation is funded through a state traffic safety grant.
   

• Police search La Costa Meadows Elementary School campus after 'potential threat' (10news.com) — Carlsbad police and sheriff’s deputies swept La Costa Meadows Elementary on Thursday after a reported potential threat, keeping students and staff sheltering in place but reporting no injuries or immediate danger.

• Christian hopes to put ‘finishing touches' on comeback season (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Christian High’s remarkable football turnaround included a key playoff win played in Carlsbad, where quarterback Kaleb Runkle led the Patriots on their path from a 2-7 record to the Division 5-AA state title game. With a small roster, no true home field, and players going both ways, the El Cajon program leaned on grit, health, and late-season momentum to chase its first state championship.
