Police blotter E-mail
Written by Press staff report   
Tuesday, 29 July 2008

 
A caller reported two boys ran after an SUV on 23rd Street and fired two shots Monday afternoon.


A caller reported at 12:17 p.m. Monday that two guys ran after an SUV and fired two shots at it on the 200 block of West 23rd Street.

A second caller said the SUV that was shot at was a silver Ford Explorer occupied by a man and woman, and that a package was sitting in her front yard, though she didn’t know if the couple dropped it.

The two running after the SUV appeared to be boys, one wearing all red, the caller said.

Tracy police responded to 180 calls for service on Monday. The following is a sample of those reports:

6:57 a.m.: A caller on the 1700 block of Groveview Way reported someone stole an “Obama sign” from the front yard.

8:35 a.m.: A caller from the Jacobson Warehouse at 2020 N. MacArthur Drive reported someone stole $300 worth of monitors over the weekend.

12:40 p.m.: A caller reported child abuse at McDonald’s at 1820 W. 11th St. when a man pulled the hair and slapped a 4-year-old girl. The girl screamed as the man hit her.

2:17 p.m.: A caller reported three man and a woman smoking drugs at Kingsley Park on the 2100 block of Robert Gabriel Drive. They were gone when police arrived.

4:41 p.m.: Police arrested someone for shoplifting at Gottschalks at 3400 Naglee Road. The suspect was cooperative, but apparently had a criminal record in Georgia that involved forgery and stolen property, and the suspect’s record indicated police should be cautious for “violent tendencies.”

6:06 a.m.: Police cited and released someone for shoplifting at Wal-Mart at 3010 W. Grant Line Road.

6:14 p.m.: A caller reported someone stole the catalytic converter from a Toyota Tacoma at the Park and Ride at 2600 Naglee Road.

6:22 p.m.: A caller reported someone stole a German shepherd that was sitting in a cage in the backyard of the caller’s home on the 4600 block of Glenhaven Drive. The caller said he received a letter from one of his neighbors saying the caller fails to take care of his dogs, and he thinks the letter might be related to the dog’s disappearance. But it turned out the back yard gate was left open and the dog might have run off.

6:58 p.m.: A caller reported that a vicious pit bull was on the loose on the 200 block of East Carlton Way, and that the caller took some neighbors kids inside her home to protect them. Police returned the dog it its home.

7:15 p.m.: A caller from In-N-Out Burger at 575 W. Clover Road reported a fight between four or five people and that one had a knife. One man apparently assaulted an older man, but the victim told police he was neither stabbed nor injured, and that the suspects took off in a black Honda Civic. About 15 minutes later, a caller said one man returned with a gun.

8:38 p.m.: A caller reported someone stole a package from the front yard on the 1800 block of Plum Lane.

9:18 p.m.: A caller reported a man “staggering around” in the street on the 600 block of East Schulte Road, and that he lied down on the roadway and the caller was afraid he’d get hit by a car.

•This column includes a sampling of items as reported in the Tracy Police Department dispatcher’s daily log. Additional information is based on reports from officers and other law enforcement agencies. To report information about a crime: Crime Stoppers, 831-6847.

This one does not get any make-over. The caller should have gotten involved by stepping in or getting other patrons or employees of McDonald's to accompany him/her in confronting the person doing the slapping. Too many people won't become involved then later, on the news, you hear of something tragic. It's time to step up and stop these parents/custodians from abusing children.

If he would have only ordered those burgers "animal style" like he was asked this wouldn't have happened.

Actually ftud, I have a right to read these blotters and logs and just signed on. I was not the first person to see this empty, more like the 120th or so. I thought you all were asleep at the wheel or maybe you took a snack break. You may never run out of your (including you all)comedic insults but it will get boring to you all pretty soon. Yep, The day will come and your reasoning for a laugh will be mute. I'll check back in a bit to see if you have a remark for me about all this.

The cited person wasn't able to take the item they tried to steal from Wal-Mart so they walked to the "Park and Ride" and stole a catalytic converter instead.

The thief will get the surprise of their life when they realize that they stole a police dog that understands only German. Plotz!

Yes, very funny ftud. It's one thing to get a good laugh as you put it or maybe amy did but a whole other when you make it personal, but accuse others of it not being OK. No, I am not going thru all the emails to find any exact quote you made. But it is OK for a handicap person and a nurse who has it so awful at her job,(you could quit amy if it is so awful)to make fun of other people so you can feel better about yourself. Go ahead, I'm not stopping you, Just My opinion.

MNDC,

No, I'm not poking fun at you. I'm trying to show you that whatever you say is not going to stop anyone from adding their "thoughts" to the police log. Go ahead and berate everyone for supplying their thoughts and have a nice day. You don't have to come back to this blog and read the comments. Just read the stories and let well enough be. Or...you can read the comments and make yourself miserable. The choice is yours.

Thanks to all of you for lightening the mood with the funny comments about the not so funny things that happen around Tracy. In no way do I think anyone is belittling the fact that Tracy has it's share of problems and the problems can be very serious. The ones making the humorous comments are probably the ones that take an active role in trying to change Tracy for the better.

MNDC - Get A Life....go outside, get some fresh air, find a new friend, pick up a hobby, address your lack of sense of humor problem and please, stop being so bitter. Life is Good!

Actually they were out there doing their job very early this morning. Unfortunately they can't be everywhere at once and I completely understand it's more important for them to be tracking down people who shoot at other people in broad daylight rather than to worry much about someone getting a catalytic converter sawed off their vehicle. What do you think?

Back at ya. smilies/wink.gif

Personally $300 dollar monitors don't sound like they are very valuable. One at $300 isn't very valuable, much less more than one. Guess the owner couldn't afford to shell out a couple of grand to protect this obviously very worthless stuff. smilies/wink.gif

But I am sorry for his or her loss though.

If some of you think your thoughts are funny and other don't think they are, you really ought to get to know the members of the Police Department and find out what they think about this.

These men and women in blue have excellent sences of humor and completely understand that people are just making light of serious situations.

Some of the things they have to say, at a personal level, would shock some and have others rolling on the ground in laughter.

I don't believe for one second that anyone who has posted here is glad to see these things happening.

You can either stew about it and worry about it or you can make light of it, get along with life and actually do something to help correct the situation. The choise of free expression is yours.

Take care all and have a great day.

no maybenotadumBcommenT, I can make my own decision on whether I want to post "funnies" to get our funny bone going, laughter is the best medicine!!!

I can understand your defense for someone who is a dispatcher or wrote it down?

Three points of article I want to mention from past blogs though:
1. Never ever shake a baby!
2. Never hit a child. If you hit an adult you would be charged for assault battery, that is no less crime with a child!
3. There should be no shooting at any cars, families and people! Crack down on the crime!

Now that I have aired my concerns, my humor is ready to go on a roll!
Thanks. -amy

HDMisfit. I think it is the other way around. These people don't have a life. They have hundreds of comments all over these comment sections as well as I do but they upped the anti because they were bored.

written by maybenotdumBcommenT , July 30, 2008
Oh, I definitely know they have a sense of humor. My thought was of the victims of these crimes. Back stories we don't know about. Could be hurtful to someone. I thought the police might be offended at first for their hard work, and You all don't have to worry about my feelings and I'm not stewing, come on, I'm commenting.

I know many many police officers and yes they do have a sense of humor, sometimes morbid and they need to vent. But I doubt they do it publicly.

amy, you left so much out. What about killing animals. Stealing a womans purse and using their credit cards. Did you say anything about robbing a bank at gunpoint while patrons are there. Etc. Go on, your bored. Just like Mr Misfit said. He has it backwards.

Dave, You do know the fore fighter have a sense of humor to and especially paramedics. They would have to. Hope they keep their comment to each other. I however am one of the few who gets to hear cop humor. You guys have nothing on them. Oh ya, my brother is a cop, not here tho. I get the sickest cop jokes in the email but at least I keep it to myself.

You are not to "dictate" to me on what I left out or not, not going to be a "pawn" in your judgemental game with the commentors on the Police Lot, Police Blotter. That is your solidary fight.

I have aired my concerns, as well on this blog.
And keeping my humor intact!

written by bla , July 30, 2008
Ok, since you put it out there I have a comment to mbndc. It is obvious that your bro the cop doesn't keep his humor to himself as it appears you are saying he forwards it to you. You keep it to yourself so you read it and delete it? How come you don't keep your comments to yourself? It seems the only one who is expressing their offense to this site is you. Or did I miss something? So as others said maybe you are the one who needs to get a life or do you just like people to react to your blog so you have something to chat about? smilies/wink.gif

Actually, I think the police should be protecting everything, including parked vehicles. You are correct in saying that the police can't be everywhere.

Dave,

With this statement you are entirely correct. All of the listings in the police blotter should not happen. There are callers and there are victims on these listings. The humor here is lighthearted to say the least. Just a way to make light of a slightly louse society we all have to live in.

In no way are there any intentions by any of the contributors to lessen the crime or offend its victims. We try to be as generic as the writer is on the police blotter.

ftud, are you sure it hurts no one? Don't bother answering. I already told you, I had a crime on one of these logs you all recently started making fun of. You never hit on it, but if you had it could very well have been hurtful that someone was making a joke about it.

To All Concerned,

On July 31st, in the Voice Archives (Mad About Neighbors), maybenotdumBcommenT voiced her opinion of our commenting on the Police Blotter/Logs to Decker in a most negative way. I was not shocked to see that maybenotdumBcommenT would stoop to such a low and responded to Decker.

I, for one, will no longer indulge maybenotdumBcommenT with any responses. I will, however, respond to defend myself to whomever she is writing if that writing sullies my reputation.

As always, you can handle this whichever way you see fit.
