Local nut claims Oceanside Mayor uses police for payback

Dateline: Coincidence. The Oceanside Police Department has dismissed a claim that ex-Mayor Terry Johnson and two of his political operatives were given traffic tickets as "political payback." Behind the accusation is local nut Lawson Chadwick, perhaps best known for paying homeless people to vote for him in the 2003 Oceanside-Carlsbad Democratic Club election.

You'd have to go all the way to Vista to find folks crazier than these guys.
