Nes Story # 4: Close Call

Man on drugs steals car with a new bride in it

A man high on methamphetamines attempted to steal a car Saturday night, even though there was someone in it- a new bride.

According to San Mateo police, a newlywed couple, whose names have not been released, had stopped off for a late night snack at a Taco Bell on their way to a hotel. The groom, still in his tuxedo, ran in to the restaurant, leaving the car running with his wife in it. Alan Ticas-Soto, 21 allegedly took advantage of the situation, dashing through the parking lot and jumping in the still-running car.

The suspect was still fumbling with the gears when the 22-year-old bride, who had been frantically trying to unbuckle her seatbelt, was pulled out of the car by her husband.

The suspect put the car into a forward gear and promptly smashed into a Taco Bell sign, according to the police. He leaped out of the car and ran away.
