CEDAR CITY — The two occupants of a Lamborghini pulled over by police in Iron County on New Year's Eve have both reached plea agreements in connection with the case.

Driver Ricardo Cora and passenger Jennifer Soto were arrested the evening of Dec. 31, 2022, when officers pulled over the gray and red Lamborghini STO luxury sports car that the pair were riding in on northbound Interstate 15 near the Hamilton Fort Exit a few miles south of Cedar City. The vehicle had been reported stolen from a dealership in Las Vegas.

The multi-agency traffic stop and subsequent standoff caused traffic on both sides of I-15 to be shut down temporarily, in addition to the Old Highway 91 frontage road.

Soto, who turned 22 on Jan. 10, appeared in court with her defense attorney Jason Schatz on Jan. 30. She pleaded guilty to one count of attempted receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle, a third-degree felony, one count with interfering with an arresting officer, a class B misdemeanor, and one count of possession or use of a controlled substance, a class B misdemeanor.
