Utah authorities have charged a 28-year-old inmate with new offenses after he tried to hire a hitman to kill his ex-girlfriend and her new partner while he was in jail.
Detectives learned about Lorenzo Gutierrez’s plans through an undercover agent who pretended to be a potential hitman.

Gutierrez offered $10,000, drugs, a gun, his stimulus check, and a car title to “smoke” and “stomp out” the woman and her boyfriend.
Prosecutors said that he repeatedly contacted the hitman and another prisoner to get his plans done before he’s released.
By July Gutierrez was transferred to the State Prison and later freed. But on Wednesday, authorities charged him with two counts of criminal solicitation to commit murder.
