A man who had been previously suspended from watching games at the park punched a referee in the face, knocking him to the ground, following an argument. The referee said he didn’t want to press charges because he punched the man first.

The police informed the caller that they do not possess hand-cuffs small enough for the 1-year-old perpetrator. They suggested that perhaps a time-out was a more appropriate punishment.
We've all heard of grand theft but "bulk" theft?
Never bring a stick to a gun fight.
It is a crime to try and rob someone who is out for a walk after midnight.
You can bet the police chief isn't out after midnight, that would require her to be here in Tracy, and we all know she's to busy traveling around with sgt sheneman.
"And on Sunday night, police responded but did not contact the man because there was a sign attached to his car reading:"
""YOU GUYS TALKED TO ME THE LAST 2 DAYS AND I'M HERE AGAIN WAITING FOR MY WIFE!""
Update!
Monday, March 4th.
A man in a white Ford Mustang called to complain there was a follow-up notice left in his usual parking space.
[It read]
"Sir, it's not "waiting for your wife" which seems to be the issue ... it's the 'hanging out' part ... that really scares the natives."

12:58 a.m.: A woman said she was chased by several people about a block away from the Great Plate, 714 N. Central Ave. The caller said the men were yelling for her and her husband and friend to give up their wallets. Police searched the area but didn’t find anyone in connection with the incident, which was gang-related, according to the police log.
"In fact, she's doing such a good job that gang bangers are running around the streets of Downtown trying to rob innocent victims who are out for an evening walk."
Evening walk? At 12:58am?
I've always been told nothing good happens 12am-6am. Remember, the freaks come out at night.
Another father who will make a good role model. NOT!
This kind of thing happens a lot in this area whenever anyone ventures into downtown after "NORMAL" closing hours.
That wouldn't be Olv........NAH!
Uh oh...a parent who really knows how to teach his children respect for authority. Next time they ought to shut the party down.
And on Sunday night, police responded but did not contact the man because there was a sign attached to his car reading:
"YOU GUYS TALKED TO ME THE LAST 2 DAYS AND I'M HERE AGAIN WAITING FOR MY WIFE!"
While there was no official comment from the Tracy Press ... it was thought ... due to recent layoffs, a couple of tenured ex-employees were celebrating their first unemployment check(s).
12:26 p.m.: A caller reported several males running around Clyde Bland Park, 1753 Blancford Lane, and that it wasn’t clear what the four or five shirtless guys were up to. Police discovered it was just several kids having a water balloon fight.
Why wouldn't people running in a park appear to be a crime - what with the brightly colored water balloons in their hands. I agree with the caller- this is exactly the type of crime we need to stop in Tracy. Water Balloon fights on a hot day, in a park must stop! Think of the children!!!!!!
8:40 a.m.: A caller on the 2500 block of Alamo Court said that there were drops of blood on his driveway and vehicle, as if someone cut themselves trying to break in
Finally! A car that fights back against would-be thieves!!!
That's roughly 3 minutes a beer!
