Pregnant Teen Arrested For Driving 122 MPH

(Nephi, UT) — A pregnant teenager is facing a lot of charges after swerving at a Highway Patrol trooper who tried to stop her for driving faster than 120 miles an hour. The Utah Highway Patrol says a trooper who clocked 19-year-old Emily Marie Schantz going 95 miles an hour tried to pull her over Tuesday morning on Interstate 15 south of Nephi. She took off, hitting 122 miles an hour. A few miles down the road, she swerved at a trooper who was setting up spikes to flatten her tires. He ran down the embankment and she drove down, disabling her vehicle. Troopers found marijuana, THC vapes, and an open bottle of whiskey in the car. Schantz didn’t have a driver’s license, told troopers she’s two weeks pregnant, had smoked weed earlier that morning but didn’t drink the whiskey.
