GUILTY PLEAS: After a 10-month probe, the district attorney’s official-misconduct unit obtained a guilty plea from Moorpark Councilman Scott Montgomery to felony and misdemeanor counts of conflict of interest, forcing Montgomery’s immediate resignation as a public official (B1). . . .

One earlier case resulted in guilty pleas by two card-club promoters for money laundering in connection with small contributions to Oxnard political campaigns.

NEED TO KNOW: So you’re out for a weekend drive on the Pacific Coast Highway and you hear gunfire, followed by explosions. Not to worry. . . .
