Tracy police were in hot pursuit of what they thought was a stolen trailer at 8 p.m. Saturday near the 800 block of Pescadero Avenue. Police followed and stopped the trailer, handcuffed and had the culprits at gunpoint, but later discovered the men were employees of the owner of the trailer, who said that he couldn’t remember reporting the trailer stolen.

Tracy Police Department officers responded to 197 calls Sunday, 194 on Saturday and 212 on Friday. The following is a sampling of those calls:

• A caller reported at 3:17 a.m. Sunday that his mentally retarded 28-year-old son had been throwing rocks at his house window and flicking a lighter next to an open gas container.
