Police were dispatched to Larch Road, where the man was last seen jumping over the fence west of the Holiday Inn and was asked to come out from behind some bushes. Police, however, had found what looked like a gun in the backseat of the stopped car, and decided to seal off the area until a police dog could do a search.
The Manteca Police Department’s K-9 unit, however, didn’t find the man, who was described as 5-foot-7, thin, black, wearing a white shirt, black shorts and black high-top shoes.
Police did, however detain a male and female passenger from the four-door black Cadillac. The concealed firearm turned out to be an Airsoft gun that looked like a real weapon.

Jack said. "Breakfast all day and maybe a burger." before he was hit by the van, leaving a big round imprint on the bumper.
I like the part about he was asked to come out from behind some bushes. Very rude of him not to oblige!
It's a great tool TPD. Does the city have some trash to picked up or some graffiti to be painted over?
