Police tried to serve a warrant for the violation at 12:20 p.m. Thursday to a house on the first block of West Clover Road. But when police told 28-year-old Anthony Stearns, a known gang member, that he was under arrest, the man ran into the house before police could handcuff him.
Police confronted Stearns when he tried to escape through the backdoor, but the suspect ducked back into the house.
Officers with automatic weapons soon surrounded the home, and blocked off the road between Holly Drive and Buthman Avenue.
Police tried to convince Stearns to come out of the house for several hours via phone and loudspeaker, but it wasn’t until a police dog was sent into the home that Stearns surrendered. He had been hiding in the attic.
Police were cautious storming the house, Tracy police Sgt. Tony Sheneman said, because a 15-month-old child was inside the home at the time. Officers got the kid out of the home before the K-9 unit was sent in.
No one was injured in the standoff.
As of press time Thursday, the charges Stearns faces weren’t known, but he was transported to San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp.
"An th funny thang is that wehn ya disagree invariably, cus they really don't have any logical alternatives, is ta make a feeble attempt ta discredit ya by insinuatin yer a stalker."
That's an interesting comment because in your most recent post on the "Police Log Chevron robbed at gunpoint" you posted the following regarding a comment I made;
"Careful tommy, since th only way ya could know this was even close ta th truth ya would have ta be stalkin em."
So I've got a few questions I would like you to answer for me;
1. In your comment to not-here, aren't you responsible for doing exactly what the same thing you're accusing me of doing? I mean, I'm "not" accusing you of being a stalker, just "hypocritcal".
2. If my comments bother you so much why don't you stop reading responding to them? I realize that you have some vested interest in making sure the message of myself and others who are dissatisfied with police chief thiessen's and city manager churchill's performance, but to resort to calling someone a stalker is questionable at best.
3. I am still waiting for you to answer my question from yesterday; which you have frequently and avidly avoided.
If crime is on the decline then why do we need to spend more tax money on overtime to fund additional gang officers?
If we're spending more money on additional gang officer then we're really not safer here in Tracy; so why is the police department's spokesman, sergeant shennemen, putting articles in the paper that say we are?
It really seems to me like there's more to this situation than the thiessen, churchill and shennemen are telling us. I've got a pretty good idea of what it is but I'm going leave the name calling to you, noch3times, apiarro and not-here.
Maybe you four should become the police department's new spokesmen?
I believe th phrase yer lookin fer is cranial impacted anal orifice. Yep incessant whinin gets tirein. Apparently ya haven't lived in Tracy long enough or ya would understand that type of complainin has become a social pass time here in th TP comment sections. An th funny thang is that when ya disagree invariably, cus they really don't have any logical alternatives, is ta make a feeble attempt ta discredit ya by insinuatin yer a stalker or some other ridiculous fantasy that comes ta thair shallow thankin minds.
It's th ole, "My dad can beat up yer dad," infantile type thankin. Don't give it more credibility than it deserves an view it as entertainment an yall be just fine. Shakespeare did thangs like that in his plays. It's called comic relief.
There would be no need for reptition etc... if the police chief would do the job she's getting paid to do, and if the city manager would do the job he's being paid to do, and if the mayor and one council would do the job they were elected to do.
If you're not familiar with which jobs I'm speaking of then you should read my other posts. This city doesn't exist to provide these people with jobs and elective office. This city government exists to protect the citizens.
From where I sit, stand and live they aren't doing the job they are paid and elected to do.
Over all tommyb has some pretty good postings here, he has a reason, like all of us for being impatient and showing irritation with crime in our town. this chief has no tracy pride, most of us have lived here for several years, if not our whole lives. the creeps that are really calling the shots (more so than the chief) are the streetgangs and wanna be's. it all starts with the top.
Or maybe at city hall for someone impersonating a city manager or a mayor?
Too bad your chief isn't pulling her weight in these situations.
2 things come to mind for me:
1) if they came to your house to serve a warrant...do you think that if you hide in the attic for long enough that they'll leave? because the answer is NO...they will just get big guns and dogs to get you OUT...LOSER!!!!
2) what kind of mother stays IN the house with her 15 month old when there are armed police outside (we'll ignore the obvious question of why are you with a criminal for now)? Shout out that you and a baby are coming out and get the bleep out of there fool! Hope CPS is looking into THAT!!
and yes...28 and still playing gangster? guess the IQ finally dropped below the age huh?
Round of Milk Bones and tennis balls are on me.
