Capt. Jim Macedo of the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Department said his department’s investigators don’t know if the flashlight is related to their case, but they are interested in taking a look at the flashlight and talking to the woman who turned it in.
The case dates back to July 16, when a 61-year-old man was attacked in a home-invasion robbery in San Andreas. Three people forced their way into his house on Golden Gate Court. The victim and two other people were in the house at the time.
The department’s statement on the case says that the victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He was able to tell deputies that one of the robbers had a gun, but didn’t fire any shots. The victim later died at the hospital, and so far investigators aren’t releasing any more information on the nature of the attack.
Macedo said it’s unclear if the robbers knew the victim. Deputies found drug-related evidence at the house, but didn’t say if that evidence was associated with the victim or the robbers.

Or, it could be done by the same low profile idiot who used stolen credit card for Tacos.
Rims and Tacos... go figure!
I don't think it's the two kids who tore up Federal checks!

"Tinfoil's psychic powers tell him that the name 'Deondra Deshon' means he's a black guy. And with two laptop computers this is guaranteed prison time. I should've gone thru the Police Academy when I was a kid. I'd be a millionaire now."
I don't think you had what it takes to graduate from a police academy. Your racist assumptions would have had you doing push-ups all day.
That's 40 tacos at 2 for .99
24" rims stolen off of a Lexus? It could only be an improvement.
9:48 a.m.: A person on the 2600 block of Colony Drive reported that a federal government check had been taking out of the caller’s mailbox and ripped up. Police found the culprits, a neighbor’s children, ages 6 and 4, but they apologized when confronted.
Following the model that we've put our grandchildren under a severe financial burden: The two children took it upon themselves to become their generations first political rebels by tearing up paper money issued by the government with no real hard currency behind it.
Then, they were sent to bed with out federal assistance.
However, remembering the era of their forefathers (their) behavior was exemplary as they were extremely courteous and articulate with their apologies.
"3:44 p.m.: Police went to Tracy Public Library, 20 E. Eaton Ave., for a report of a woman who was being loud and abusive to library workers after her library card was rejected, and she was informed that she owed the library money. Police arrested the women on suspicion of disturbing the peace."
When asked for comment on just how one gets arrested at a library for disturing the police, it was advised that she simply didnt respond to the many requests my library staff to....Sshhh
"2:56 a.m.: A woman reported that someone stole her purse and used one of her credit cards to run up a $20 bill at Jack-In-The-Box, 1935 W. 11th Street."
Investigating officers were on the look out for a suspect in possesion of two ultimate cheeseburgers and five jack in the box tacos and clearly not enough sense to start their stolen credit card crime spree with a trip to an electronic store prior to attracting police attention through an ill advised trip to the local 24 hour fast food eatery.
"11:25 p.m.: A woman told police that someone is stalking her 16-year-old daughter, and left a flower with a card on the family’s doorstep, rang the doorbell and ran away. She called 9-1-1 12 minutes later to ask when an officer would be there. Police investigated, and believe that a teenage boy left the flower and card"
After an extensive explanation that leaving a card and flowers for a girl is a only a young boy's right of courtship, when it was learned that Stan had come back and held up his boom box tuned to the endearing vocal wonder of peter gabriel's "In your eyes", Diane's overprotective mother about lost her marbles and demanded the boy be arrested.
*disclaimer, must have watched one of the great 80s movies say anything, to get the joke

It was later learned the "culprits" in question were sent to bed early without desert.
In a related story it was also learned that elements of the tea party have gone to extreme measures to stem the tide of what they see has needless government spending to include enlisting even the youngest opportunists to help them in their war against Obamamania.
3:44 p.m.: Police went to Tracy Public Library, 20 E. Eaton Ave., for a report of a woman who was being loud and abusive to library workers after her library card was rejected, and she was informed that she owed the library money. Police arrested the women on suspicion of disturbing the peace.
Jane went down to the library for some reading and fun.
Instead it turned out she owed money yet had none.
When her card was denied she was simply beside, naturally became boisterous and began to flail.
Soon Jane was being seen going off to jail.
With any luck by Monday she should make bail.
Without any clue, this could happen to you, and join Jane in singing 'Rhapsody in Blue'.
2:17 p.m.: Someone stole a video camera from Bonfare Market, 15 E. Grant Line Road. The store has the recording of the person stealing the camera.

-There may be more to the story. I don't think having a 'crush' is a crime and I would be tickled pink with the flower. I wonder if the daughter was involved with this call?
..................
Aw, sweet, he's got a crush on you, now that it is no longer a secret via Police Log... probably won't bother you anymore. In this time and age, such gesture is rare!
CN
.................
Wow, our future taxpayers' already protesting!!!

-Be happy the robber didn't run to Neiman Marcus!!!
12:03 a.m.: The California Highway Patrol asked Tracy Police for help arresting a drunken driving suspect at Grant Line Road and Tracy Boulevard. The 41-year-old man was taken to San Joaquin County Jail on suspicion of drunken driving and resisting arrest.
- What a coincidence. The first two drunks I read about are 41 yrs. old. Get them officers! Sad, they haven't learned yet.
is the same CRITTENDEN, DEONDRA DESHON DOB in 1979, here. Also booked on a parole violation
or perhaps even the same one here?
Resisting arrest: At about 10:40 a.m. Wednesday, officers witnessed a hand-to-hand drug sale in the 400 block of San Joaquin Street and ran after one of the people involved, police reported. A suspect, identified as Deondra Crittenden, 31, of Tracy, got stuck on a fence and was arrested on suspicion of parole violation and resisting arrest.
