Tracy Police arrested two men Monday morning on suspicion of armed robbery after they allegedly pointed a shotgun at a man’s head and took his phone and wallet at the Tracy Park Apartments on the 2800 block of Tracy Boulevard.

The victim ran inside to call police at 1:02 a.m. Monday, right after the incident, and gave a description of the two men. He said they left in a white Chevrolet, but wasn’t sure which way they drove off. Police searched the area, checked out a car with two men in it at the AM/PM next to Interstate 205, and also notified the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP spotted the white Chevorlet and made a stop on Interstate 5 at Charter Way in Stockton. A CHP officer noticed a shotgun in the back seat of the car and held the two men in the car at gunpoint until backup could arrive. Tracy Police brought the victim and another witness to the scene to identify the men.

Dermaine Lamar Scott, 28, and Jamal Tivon Feaster, 26, were both arrested on suspicion of robbery, illegal weapon possession, illegal weapon possession by a felon, conspiracy and assault with a firearm. They went to San Joaquin County Jail and were each held on $180,000 bail, with a court hearing coming up on Wednesday afternoon in Manteca.

Tracy Police logged 147 calls on Monday, including the following reports:

7:23 a.m.: A woman on the 2900 block of Highgate Lane told police that someone tried to break into her house. She noted that someone had opened a side door, but she didn’t find that anything was missing.

8:25 a.m.: Police arrested a man after he allegedly stole a weed trimmer at the Tracy Garden Apartments on the 2900 block of North Tracy Boulevard. Police found a man matching his description at El Pescadero Park and arrested Florentino Montejanofranco, 25, on suspicion of grand theft. He went to San Joaquin County Jail and was held on $10,000 bail pending a Wednesday afternoon court hearing in Manteca.

10:32 a.m.: Someone at JC Penney, 3100 Naglee Rd., reported that someone passed a fake $100 bill at the store. The store has a video recording of the person who allegedly passed the bill.

1:35 p.m.: Police went to Kelly Elementary School, 535 Mabel Josephine Dr., for a report of a three-car crash in front of the school. One of the cars had to be towed, but no serious injuries were reported.

2:14 p.m.: A silver Honda Civic and a Gold Lincoln Navigator collided in the parking lot of Kimball School, 3200 Jaguars Run. One of the people involved was angry, but when police arrived the people exchanged insurance information. No serious injuries were reported.

3:18 p.m.: Someone at the Kaiser medical clinic in Tracy called police after treating a 20-year-old man who was attacked on Central Avenue at Ninth Street Saturday night. Police got a description of the assailants, but the man said he did not want police to get involved.

3:24 p.m.: Police arrested a 45-year-old woman on suspicion of drug possession on the 100 block of Highland Avenue after officer followed up on a stolen purse incident from Saturday.

4:35 p.m.: Police went to the intersection of Tracy Boulevard and 11th Street after a car crashed into a pole. A woman got out of the car and didn’t appear injured at first, but a witness told police that a couple other people helped carry her into a nearby restaurant, where she passed out. Police called an ambulance for her and her car had to be towed away.

5:58 p.m.: A person at Sutter Tracy Community Hospital told police that 19-year-old man in the emergency room was being treated for injuries from a beating on Saturday. The man might have been hit in the jaw with brass knuckles, but he wasn’t sure.

Here are a few links regarding the police chief and Sgt. Shennamen's efforts to use the street gang issue and the Sandra Cantu case as stepping stone for their own agendas.

Here's a link on her strategy to address the street gangs in Tracy.

Here's the link on Officer Cogburn's activities, which still haven't been dealt with. It's been over a year and she hasn't takebn any action on his alledged intimidation of a witness which is a violation of the government code and city policy.

Great Job TPD "Street Officers"!!!

I'm really amazed at what a great job the Street Officers do with a police chief who is absent most of the time.

She, and Sgt. Shennamen, spend a lot of time traveling around the country lecturing about what a great job "She" did during the Sandra Cantu case. In fact they're gone so much that the department is in chaos. Multiple officers off on paid leave, (Cogburn, etc...) and she continues to tell people what a great chief she is...

Just like the city manager who tells all the other city managers what a great guy he is, but doesn't take care of business "at home."

From what I can see the old saying is true. "Those that can do and those that can't travel around and lecture!"

@firemedic

Ever since that nut chic sexual abused and killed a child. It's like, OH Yeah, well look what you white folks did.

Racial profiling? Maybe. I don't think the police are going to put a tail on some white person cuz they bought some luggage.

I know the point you were trying to make. Can we drop that Huckaby reference? If nothing else but for the family of Sandra?

To CanIsaySomething:

Yea, racial profiling.. Ok, lets do that.. lets stop every white woman and look for suitcases full of kids, hmmm I don't think you'll find much. Now, lets stop every gangbanger or one that LOOKS like a gangbanger or cars that are similar to those that alot of gangbangers like to drive and I bet we will find ALOT more problems, guns, drugs and crime. Doesnt matter what color they are, but if it dresses like a banger and talks like a banger, it probably is or wants to be. Get em off the streets and out of our town. Notice where they stopped them? Stockton, the pit of San Joaquin Valley.

Again, thanks for the identification, arrest and positive ID of these two guys goes out to the VICTIM. Without him reporting to police; NO crime. Without him giving a great description of the car and the suspects to police; NO crime. And the huge one; without the victim doing a field show up and willing to say "enough is enough and I'm not scared," and telling police I'm willing to testify against them in court; NO CRIME.

Thanks again to the victim and thank you TP for NOT publishing the victims name in this case.

Chris-"Tracy Police arrested two men Monday morning." So what if they were wise enough to enlist help from the CHP? 2 punks booked that's the good news!

Uh lets be clear here folks, this was the California Highway Patrol who caught these dirt bags, not the Tracy PD.

These guys got out of town faster than TPD could put down their donuts.

I've been shot at with a bb gun and it took TPD 30 minutes just to show up. Never mind the fact that they didn't do anything (despite the fact that I knew where the person who shot me lived).

Sounds like one was insured and one wasn't! Wonder if these two knew each other or perhaps met prior to needing medical attention?

3:18 p.m.: Someone at the Kaiser medical clinic in Tracy called police after treating a 20-year-old man who was attacked on Central Avenue at Ninth Street Saturday night. Police got a description of the assailants, but the man said he did not want police to get involved.

5:58 p.m.: A person at Sutter Tracy Community Hospital told police that 19-year-old man in the emergency room was being treated for injuries from a beating on Saturday. The man might have been hit in the jaw with brass knuckles, but he wasn’t sure.

I have to agree with LuckyInTracyNot regarding the comment to Ornley.

No one has been complaining about the Street Cops, in fact, everyone thinks they're great. What we're angry about is the police chief's lack of focus on solving the problem and the city manager's disregard for the will of the people. It appears both have lost touch with the people who provide the money so they can both have those large salaries and over the top benefit packages.

I'm sure LJN would like to have more upstanding citizens like Jared Loughner. Prior to shooting 19 people he was pulled over for running a red light and released with a warning. So I guess profiling does work doesn't it.

Tracy would do best to solve the REAL problem it has. If you wonder what the REAL problem is look at LJN and noclue's post and there you have it. Crime can be solved by us working together, their affliction is far more complicated.

@ Ornley_Gumfudgen An all along, according ta many of th complainers that frequent this site, PD don't do nothin.

Good job guys, glad yer on th beat. An those people that seem ta hate ya an th job yer doin, don't pay any attention to em.

I THINK WHAT WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IS, THE CITY LEADERS IN TRACY, THE POLICE LEADERSHIP AND, NOT THE STREET COPS. WE ALL AGREE THEY ARE DOING GOOD JOBS.

CUDOS to the reporting party of the robbery for stepping up to not only make the call to the police, but for following-up with in field show up and ID.

I wish there we're more like you sir.
