A person on the 1400 block of North Tracy Boulevard reported at 8:11 p.m. Monday, July 25, that four young men in a Volkswagen Jetta had pointed a gun at the caller and then fired shots. The gun turned out to be a BB gun, and no serious injuries were reported. The Jetta was last seen heading east on Eaton Avenue.

Tracy Police recorded 166 calls for service Monday, July 25, including the following reports:

1:03 a.m.: A person on the 2800 block of Funston Court heard a man, who possibly was drunk, yelling and pounding on things. Police arrived and found the man preparing to go to sleep in a shed in his back yard.

1:17 a.m.: Police went to the central part of town after a woman reported that her child’s father had just beaten her up. The man was gone when police arrived, apparently having jumped over the back fence. Police got another call a little more than two hours later after the man returned to the house. The woman and other people at the house left before police arrived. An officer knocked on the door and the man answered, but promptly shut and locked the door upon seeing a police officer. Police eventually got inside and arrested the 42-year-old man on suspicion of felony domestic violence, and took him to San Joaquin County Jail.

7:47 a.m.: A man on the 200 block of Mount Oso Avenue told police that someone had stolen the catalytic converter from his car during the night.

8:38 a.m.: A woman reported she had received a phone call from a man claiming to be her nephew. He said he needed money, and the woman told police that her husband had sent $2,400 to Mexico. An officer who tried to follow up on the case was unable to get in contact with the couple.

11:04 a.m.: A person at the Royal Motel, 1201 W. 11th St., told police that a woman had some stolen checks and was cashing them at a nearby check-cashing business. The woman was reportedly seen getting into a car to leave the area when police stopped the car and made an arrest.

12:36 p.m.: A woman on the 500 block of West 12th Street told police that a gardener continues to harass her over her bill, but she insists she paid all that she owed. Police found that the people are likely to take the matter to civil court.

4:53 p.m.: Tracy police, the California Highway Patrol and ambulances responded to crash between a truck and a car on Byron Road just north of Grant Line Road.

5:25 p.m.: A woman at the Royal Motel, 1201 W. 11th St., told police that a man on a mountain bike hit her in the head and pulled a knife on her. Police arrived and found that it was two men in a fight in relation to the woman being arrested earlier. Officers also learned that the people involved wouldn’t confirm if there actually was a knife involved, and nobody was willing to cooperate with police on the matter.

6:04 p.m.: A woman in the central part of town told police that her husband threatened her and then grabbed the phone and disconnected the line when she called police. Police arrested the 48-year-old man on suspicion of making threats, a felony, and causing damage to a phone line, a misdemeanor, and took him to San Joaquin County Jail.

7:03 p.m.: Someone reported that a girl and two boys were in front of Jacobsen Elementary School, 1750 W. Kavanagh Ave., making offensive hand gestures and mooning people. The caller just wanted police to talk to the kids and send them home.

10:02 p.m.: A man on the 1100 block of Cochran Drive told police that someone tried to pry open his side garage door, and he also told police that his 5-year-old Labrador was gone.

10:17 p.m.: A person reported a man with a gun at North School, 2875 Holly Drive. Police arrived and detained a man at gunpoint, but he wasn’t the one that the original caller saw. Police gave the man a warning about trespassing.
