A federal grand jury in Salt Lake City has indicted Skyler AJ Rose of Ogden on multiple charges, including attempting to commit a hate crime, after he was accused of threatening to "blow up" a Utah synagogue, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. [1]
U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak said the charges include possession of an unregistered destructive device and threatening to kill and injure people and destroy a building with an explosive. The case stems from an investigation that began after Rose was accused of making online threats against the synagogue in December 2025. [1]
Ogden police said investigators found rifles, ammunition and pipe bombs. Holyoak said a place of worship should be a refuge of peace and safety and that Jewish communities should be able to live without fear of religiously motivated violence. An indictment is an allegation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. [1]
