A newlywed couple was carjacked Saturday night when they stopped for a snack at the Taco Bell on East Fourth Ave. on the way to their honeymoon suite.
According to Sheryl Wolcott, a San Mateo County deputy district attorney, the groom had left his wife in the passenger seat of their 2003 Nissan Ultima and had barely made it to the entrance of the restaurant when a man high on methamphetamines bolted across the parking lot and leaped into their idling vehicle.
The groom managed to pull his screaming wife from their car just before their confused assailant, 21-year-old Alan Ticas-Soto, crashed it into a Taco Bell sign. Ticas-Soto then took off running and was later found going southbound on South Delaware Street where he was arrested without incident.
He is currently being held in San Mateo County Prison and is faced with carjacking and misdemeanor drug charges. “If he is found guilty, [he] could face up to nine years in state prison for the carjacking,” says Wolcott.

P2 is one very long, complex sentence -- how about splitting it in two?
