Narrative:

Landed runway 34 at ric. Both the captain and myself understood our clearance for taxi was 'left on taxiway C, stay with me.' after completing the after landing checklist, I looked up and to the right and said 'clear right,' just before crossing runway 2. This made the captain and me look to the left for traffic. We both saw a regional jet landing runway 2. Captain stopped our aircraft, but we had crossed the hold short line on taxiway C at runway 2. I then advised the local controller that we were holding short of runway 2. The controller's response was 'for good reason.' I stated that we were not instructed to hold short of runway 2. The controller said that we were cleared to hold short. Contributing factors: the regional jet was having radio problems. The controller gave the rj light gun signals for landing. We heard this after the rj had landed.

AFTER COMPLETING THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST, I LOOKED UP AND TO THE R AND SAID 'CLR R,' JUST BEFORE XING RWY 2. THIS MADE THE CAPT AND ME LOOK TO THE L FOR TFC. WE BOTH SAW A REGIONAL JET LNDG RWY 2.
