TRACY - Police detained a Tracy couple Monday afternoon in connection with a
case involving a 16-year-old boy who - wearing only a pair of baggy boxers
and carrying a heavy chain padlocked to his ankle - stumbled into a local
gym asking employees to hide him.

The teen, whose name hasn't been released, was reported missing from a
Sacramento foster home in 2007. He was apparently picked up by the Tracy
couple, whose names haven't been released, witnesses said.

When he wandered into the In-Shape City Sports Club at 101 S. Tracy Blvd.,
about 3:30 p.m. Monday, he was wearing only flesh-colored boxers. He had
visible cuts and burns on his back and was described as being emaciated and
covered in soot, dried blood, feces and urine, police said. He was taken to
Sutter Tracy Community Hospital and was expected to be transferred to
Children's Hospital Oakland, authorities said.
