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.

Clearly a joke. Zero tolerance for threats is one thing. This is zero common sense for the police chief.

What ever happened to satire. Give me break.

How the hell is my guy getting a nuclear reactor?…asking for a friend.

A Ute student says she will detonate the nuke reactor at the school. Now that’s just great every idiot and terrorist knows where to find what they need! Maybe each school has one but what are the security measures that they have I’ll bet it’s not anything like the military!

Wonder if they would have arrested them if they said they were going to blow up the entire planet if they lost... 🤦‍♂️

First they came for the boobies, then they come for your nuclear reactor jokes....

“You can’t say ‘bomb’ on an airplane”

Arresting people for jokes is some abject authoritarianism

That's what you call a Super Fan right there👍🏽
