OCEANSIDE, Calif.—Two Oceanside men were arrested Thursday on suspicion of cocaine smuggling after making a predawn emergency landing in a light airplane on state Route 76 in Oceanside.
The pilot of the Piper PA-28 Cherokee safely landed the single-engine aircraft on the eastbound side of the highway near Canyon Drive about 1:40 a.m. Thursday after reporting engine trouble, according to the Oceanside Police Department (OPD).
