Overview

• Blake Francis Rogers, 20, was booked in Summit County on suspicion of making a terrorism-related threat after authorities viewed his video as credible.
• He allegedly recorded the 70‑second message in Park City on Sept. 15, identifying himself and declaring an 'odyssey' to UVU to 'finally killing woke.'
• The FBI alerted the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, which pinged a phone, located a residence, notified UVU, and issued attempt‑to‑locate bulletins to other agencies.
• Rogers told deputies the video was a joke shared as an unlisted YouTube link with about 12–15 people and said he used the term 'woke' as a vague idea.
• Court papers note the video did not outline a specific plan, yet investigators said lives were at risk, and the clip has not been released as the case proceeds.
