The men were reportedly selling drugs at around 8:30 p.m. on the 1700 block of Countrywood Lane when police located their vehicle as it drove away from the area.
They led police from Promenade Circle to Fieldview Drive, where the driver struck a fire hydrant. The driver reportedly sustained a laceration to his forehead while the passenger ran from the scene.

One man was treated at Sutter Tracy Community Hospital, while the other man was taken to San Joaquin County Jail. The charges against each man are unclear. The car, described as a gold Acura, was reportedly stolen.

Having an 8 year old call to report something to the police when there were 2 adults around, clearly not the best choice. Going outside of your house when police sirens are all around you, clearly not the best choice. So why don't you think again about what you are bothered by and maybe speak again about how there were some bad choices made on the part of the bystanders and the police should be thanked for their making your neighborhood safer. Next time you hear sirens, lock your door and stay inside!

I wonder if this is that same moron dispatcher that has been the subject of other articles...
They should have done noting, so the suspect can get away and be on the streets another day.
Hello why don't you look at your screen name and take your own advise and use your brain.
The neighbors who took the law into their own hands sound like the REAL HEROS, NOT the Tracy PD or their dispatch.
You hear many stories of kids who call 911 and saved their grandpa or whomever having a medical emergency. Maybe they called because they heard someone break in the house. You hear it all the time. Obviously our dispatch person needs more training.
The only way the police can be effective is if they have the support of the community. Negativity towards law enforcement reaks of criminal inclination or resentment.
Hey Best, it's taboo to thank TPD for their hard work, dedication and service. According to some of the keyboard warriors that post on here, TPD never does anything except eat and harass good, law abiding citizens.
