Travis Lorenz received probation in two cases, with each judgment including 101 days in jail. In the firearm case, 3rd District Judge Derek Williams suspended a prison term of zero to five years and ordered three years of probation. In the separate assault case, 4th District Judge Christine Johnson ordered two years of probation and suspended a one-year jail sentence. KSL.com reported both sentencing outcomes: KSL’s report says the 101 days had already been served.
Lorenz pleaded guilty in July 2026 to theft of a firearm, reduced from a second-degree to a third-degree felony; the plea agreement also dismissed a related third-degree felony aggravated-assault charge. In the other case, he pleaded guilty in late September 2026 to a reduced charge of assault with substantial bodily injury. KSL reported that the second case was filed in June 2026 while Lorenz was out on bail, and that his bail in the firearm case was then revoked. Its account says the same 101-day period satisfied the jail terms in both judgments, citing rules described by Utah State Courts.
The firearm case
KSL’s account, based on charging documents, describes a driver reporting that another motorist threw an object at his vehicle and displayed a handgun during a dispute. The driver provided a license plate number that led police to Lorenz. Lorenz said he had thrown a marker and acknowledged displaying the gun, but said he had not pointed it at the other driver.
The handgun had been reported stolen in Utah County. In its earlier coverage of the arrest, KSL.com reported that Lorenz told police he had bought it from a drug dealer. In November 2025, police booked him on suspicion of aggravated assault, theft of a firearm, threatening to use a weapon in a fight, and carrying a concealed weapon while under 21; the article said road-rage enhancements were attached to those charges.
