University of Utah student arrested for allegedly threatening to detonate a nuclear reactor if the football team lost.
Meredith Miller, 21, now faces one count of threat of terrorism, a second-degree felony.
Arresting documents detail that Miller is an engineering student at the University of Utah and allegedly posted on the social media platform YikYak that if the University of Utah did not win their game, she would"detonate the nuclear reactor that is located in the University of Utah causing mass destruction," court documents state.
Her alleged threat was posted on September 17, the same day that the University of Utah played San Diego State. The Utes won the game with a final score of 17-35. Documents state that because Miller is an engineering student, she"has knowledge of the nuclear reactor" and knows where the reactor is located.
