MILLCREEK — A Midvale woman was arrested Thursday and accused of cutting the brake lines of a vehicle belonging to a couple who have a stalking injunction against her.
Toria Raye Stein, 32, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail Thursday and charged Friday in 3rd District Court with attempted murder, a first-degree felony, and two counts of stalking, a second-degree felony.
The victim couple lives in the Mount Aire community in Parleys Canyon. The wife told police that in late February, "she got into her Honda CRV, finding the brake pedal was not working and went straight to the floorboard," a police booking affidavit states.
Fortunately, the vehicle was not being driven. When the woman and her husband had their brakes checked, they "discovered both front brake lines had been intentionally cut," according to the affidavit.
The couple suspected Stein — a woman who has had "incidents" with the husband since 2020 and who the couple currently have a stalking injunction against — was responsible for cutting the brakes, the affidavit states.
Stein is an ex-girlfriend of the husband whom he dated from 2018 to April 2020, according to charging documents.
"During their relationship, Stein displayed intense jealousy and emotional outbursts which caused him to break up with her," the charges state. After breaking up with her, Stein allegedly went to the man's business every other day for two weeks looking for him.
"Stein also attempted to contact (the man) at home there times by walking the four miles from the gate at Mount Aire to his cabin doorstep, including once after dark. During all these confrontations, Stein was agitated, yelling and emotional," the court documents allege.
After the couple discovered the brake lines were cut, detectives looked at Stein's phone data and learned she was in the Mount Aire community during the time the couple believes the brakes were cut, according to the arrest report. They also obtained a warrant for her internet search history and reported finding searches for, "Where are the brake lines on a car?" and "Did someone cut my brake line?"
"Toria also visited YouTube about a tutorial on how to find car brake lines. On Feb. 8, 2026, Toria searched: 'Is brake fluid flammable?'" the affidavit says.
Stein was arrested Thursday at her home in Midvale.

I had a bad stalker, they can be very crazy and impossible to get rid of.
Although “Stein was arrested Thursday at her home in Midvale”, the situation is still fluid.
make up with her, take her to acapulco, lose her while swimming....resume
There is a way to cut brake lines that will ‘have an impact’ and there’s a way to cut brake lines to make a person look like an idiot. Being woman named Stein, I guess she had no choice but to go with Option 2.
She is a bad “braker-upper.”
I think we need to add “girls named Toria Raye” to the Danger Zone of the Hot/Crazy Matrix.
Good opening gambit for a TV series episode.
In the obscure George Peppard movie PJ he slowed his sabotaged downhill accelerating car by using the slow shift selection and then scraping the side of the car against the long, rocky wall until hitting foliage headon. Gayle Hunnicut as the passenger was shaken up but still subject to being consoled by Peppard’s strong arms around her.
Old title was New Face in Hell but studio didn’t like it. also didn’t like a group of gay bar thugs trying to torture Peppard to death. Caused the delay of vhs and dvd for years.

I bet she’s crazy in bed
I side-swipped a mountain so I’d slow her down by rubbin’ her side
And when the sparks started flyin’, man, it looked like the Fourth of July
I finally got her stopped, but mister, I’m a-gonna confess
That’s the last run I’m makin’ in a rig called the Nitro Express

It’s Utah. Plea deal in 3,2,1............
A dude was just sentenced for rape 10 years after being charged. Expect he will be on the streets soon.
It didn't end well for her or him. He was originally sentenced to life in prison. But due to the judge refusing to allow exculpatory evidence during the trial, the state Supreme Court ordered a new trial. His sentence was reduced to 8 years with time served.
The perp auto get some prison time!
LOL, one of my all-time favorites!
Not germane, but another fave:
