Just Married, Nearly Carjacked
Hours after their wedding, a couple was almost carjacked outside a Taco Bell on East Fourth Street in San Mateo, late last night. The suspect was high on methamphetamines for three days straight, say police.
San Mateo County spokesperson, Sheryl Wolcott explained that the couple stopped for a late-night snack still sporting a tuxedo and wedding dress during the incident. Shortly after the groom got out of the car, Alan Ticas-Soto jumped into the driver's seat, but had trouble getting the car into reverse. The 22-year-old bride began to scream and opened the passenger door and stumbled out of the car just in time, shaken but uninjured.
Alan Ticas-Soto clumsily crashed the couple’s car into the Taco Bell sign then ran off after jumping into the driver’s seat immediately after the groom got out of the idly-running car.
Police caught the suspect shortly after he ran from the scene on South Delaware Street and Ninth Avenue. Ticas-Soto is facing felony carjacking and misdemeanor drug charges.

Good job on this story!
ReplyDeleteI'd ID the carjacker in P2, not in the lead. And your chronology of events gets a little hard to follow in P2. But overall, this works quite well.
