A caller told police two men were in a fight at 4:51 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, at Kavanagh Avenue and Tracy Boulevard, with one man choking the other. The caller said a wrench was also involved in the fight. Police tracked down the two suspects and were told it was just a verbal dispute between a father and son.

Tracy police received 156 calls for service Tuesday, March 8. The following is a sample of those calls.

1:58 a.m.: A caller reported a truck was on fire near the Taco Bell at 2880 W. Grant Line Road. The truck, which was on private property, was “totally destroyed.”

1:10 p.m.: A man went into Tracy Rifle & Pistol, 2726 Naglee Road, but the owner of the store wouldn’t sell him a gun because the man “smelled like marijuana.” The man became angry and yelled and screamed at the store owner before leaving.

Perhaps this may have avoided another Loughner incident?

"At least he just yelled and screamed. Having a gun would have been much worse."

Yep, probably would have been, for him anyway. Don't know if ya have noticed but th store employees pack heat.

Chances are pretty good if this "customer" started ta wave a gun around he'd get a free ride ta th corronor's office.
