San Mateo police apprehend an auto theft suspect Saturday night after witnesses informed the authorities who saw the suspect allegedly stealing and attempting to drive a car away with a newly married woman.

Alan Ticas-Soto, a 21-year-old man with no criminal charge, was allegedly high off methamphetamines, during the theft, and is now facing carjacking and misdemeanor drug charges and is being held in San Mateo County Jail at $100,000 bail according to San Mateo Police.

Ticas-Soto, who pleaded not guilty to the San Mateo Superior Court on Monday, could face nine years in state prison said Sheryl Wolcott, a San Mateo County deputy district attorney.

Wolcott said Ticas-Soto, who allegedly tried to steal the car from a newly married couple at a Taco Bell in San Mateo, crashed the vehicle at a Taco Bell sign while trying to evade the couple.
