Police officers in Ogden, Utah, arrested Skyler Rose, 21, on Dec. 23 and booked him on terror, gun, bomb and drug charges after he allegedly vowed to harm Jews.

After executing a search warrant at Rose’s home, officers found “explosive devices, explosive materials and multiple firearms,” the Ogden Police Department said.

It added that the department received a tip from the FBI that Rose had allegedly threatened “serious violence,” which he “directed broadly toward members of the Jewish community and their places of worship.”

Among the charges against him are seven felony counts of possessing a weapon of mass destruction.

Fire damaged more than 30 structures, destroyed 15 homes and 10 businesses, and forced the evacuation of some 100 families.
