"A crow was found stuck in a tree on the 400 block of East 10th Street"

After an exhaustive investigation by Tracy PD, utilizing the SWAT team, 7 patrol cars and 30 police officers, it was determined that the crow flew, under its own power, into the tree.

After weighing all their options, taking 7 coffee breaks and spending 3 hours discussing the situation, the crow got bored and flew away...
