On Oct. 14, the user posted, “I’ll be in LES (LaVell Edwards Stadium) Saturday. Any Ute fan I see is dead. Mark my words.” When another person told him to log off, he replied, “nah anyone wearing red on Saturday is getting shot.”
Investigators identified Justice as the person behind the account. He was arrested and is currently on probation following a second DUI conviction within 10 years.
The arrest came the same day the presidents of both the University of Utah and Brigham Young University released a joint video urging fans to keep the “Holy War” rivalry respectful and safe.
Police continue to investigate and remind fans that threats of violence, even online, are taken seriously and can lead to felony charges.
He was booked on "Threats of Violence and Obstruction of Justice" and booked in the Emery County Jail.
