I pride myself on being a part of the Tracy community. I praise the city to people who live outside of Tracy.
Let's show some Tracy pride and support.
Arrested female passenger out of spite, had nothing on her and had to release her at the station house.
Modesto k-9 showed up 45 minutes later. The criminal probably went the liquor store, drank a beer, smoked a blunt, and still had time to drive back to Oakland/Stockton, before the k-9 showed up.
Hahaha crime fighting in this town is a joke. Protect yourselves people! Tracy Pd can't help you at all!
If Obama had a son...
And why doesn't Tracy have their own K-9 team?
