A woman from Tennis Lane told police at 7:46 a.m. Thursday, July 26, that she was forced to marry a man from Afghanistan so he could get a green card.

So does the Tracy Press even have a police scanner to keep up to date and report news on a timely manner? South Tracy Blvd was closed for many hours yesterday. Might have been nice to post something like that on the web page. Yes there was a horrible accident and a kid had to be flown by helicopter to the hospital. Then there was the investigation which kept the rod closed. Yeah that is something that should be put on here as soon as is happens.
