San Diego police booked two men Wednesday after a search of a Sunset Cliffs Boulevard home tied to a Halloween poisoning incident in which at least 15 children — ranging in age from one to six years old — reportedly picked up psilocybin-infused gummies from a front porch while trick-or-treating. Michael Goff, 80, and Shawn Michael Foster, 45, were arrested from a residence in the 2100 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard in Ocean Beach.
What investigators found inside extended well beyond gummies: more than two and a half pounds of cannabis, more than 25 grams of crystal methamphetamine, a rifle, ammunition, a partially assembled pistol, packaging materials, a digital scale, and what investigators described as drug-sales ledgers. Goff was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm; Foster on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. As of Thursday, NBC 7 reported no charges had yet been filed in connection with the gummies themselves, with narcotics and child-endangerment investigations still underway. These are suspicion bookings, not findings of guilt.
On the border, southbound Interstate 5 lanes and the affected San Ysidro Port of Entry crossing — shut down Wednesday evening following a Riverside County stolen-vehicle pursuit — reopened early Thursday morning. Customs and Border Protection said the driver drove toward officers and did not comply with commands before an officer fired; the suspect sustained non-life-threatening injuries. San Diego police, Homeland Security Investigations, the DHS Office of Inspector General, and CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility are all investigating, standard procedure whenever a federal agent discharges a weapon. The suspect's identity had not been released as of Friday morning. The pursuit originated around 6:45 p.m. Wednesday near Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street in Jurupa Valley, Riverside County, before continuing south on I-5.
On fire conditions, the National Weather Service is tracking a warming Santa Ana wind pattern pushing coastal temperatures ten to twenty degrees above normal and valley temperatures ten to fifteen degrees above normal, with regional projections putting Sunday highs at 89 degrees in San Diego and 88 in Oceanside. Red flag warnings in regional reporting apply to portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties; research conducted Friday morning did not establish a San Diego County red flag warning, and no confirmed new major wildfire or evacuation order was in place countywide. The dry, warm, offshore-wind conditions are nonetheless real. A separate coastal flooding advisory remains active at the shoreline, meaning an inviting-looking beach day carries an asterisk on rip current and surf risk.
