Sex offender arrested for attempting to meet child in Lehi, documents say
LEHI, Utah () — A Centerville man who is on the sex offender registry has been arrested for attempting to meet with a child in Lehi to engage in sexual activity. Luke Winston Rogers, 39, has been charged with attempted rape of a child, attempted sodomy on a child, attempted aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, enticement of a minor, three counts of dealing in material harmful to a minor, and failure to stop at command of police. According to information filed by the Lehi Police Department, Rogers was using a 'popular social media app' to chat with a user who identified herself as a 13-year-old girl to him. The child was an undercover Lehi officer. Interstate pursuit ends in Weber County, 2 arrested Police provided multiple messages where Rogers spoke about engaging sexually with the 13-year-old. He shared sexual images of himself and others in the conversations. In one message from the child, she clarified that she was 13 years old, asking if he understood that.

Utah's seasonal roads start to open with springtime thaw
SALT LAKE CITY () — Utah's weather is warming up, and mountain passes are beginning to thaw out. And that means the Utah Department of Transportation will begin opening its seasonal roads. Several of those roads, according to UDOT, will open this week. State Road 148 in Cedar Breaks National Monument opened on Tuesday morning, May 13, and crews are working to open two other seasonal roads – SR-65 from East Canyon to Emigration Canyon and Monte Cristo Highway, or SR-39 – by 8 a.m. on Friday, May 16. Toxic dust storm sweeps across Salt Lake Valley, hitting Utah's most densely populated areas SR-190 and SR-224, otherwise known as Guardsman Pass, which runs east from Brighton to Park City, are expected to open on Thursday morning, May 22. Utah has nine state-run seasonal roads that close to traffic through the winter months, typically between November to May or June. UDOT said that maintaining the roads during the winter is expensive and can be a safety risk due to swift, heavy snow that moves in. As of Tuesday, May 13, only two of the nine state-run seasonal roads have reopened for the summer. A full list can be found below: SR-39 Monte Cristo Highway (east of Ogden) – Expected to open Friday, May 16 SR-65 East Canyon (northeast of Salt Lake City) – Expected to open Friday, May 16 SR-190 Guardsman Pass (Brighton to Park City) – Expected to open Thursday, May 22 SR-224 Guardsman Pass (Park City to Brighton) – Expected to open Thursday, May 22 SR-92 American Fork Canyon/Alpine Loop – CLOSED SR-150 Mirror Lake Highway (east of Kamas) – CLOSED SR-35 Wolf Creek Summit (east of Francis to west of Hanna) – OPEN SR-135 Mount Holly (west of US-89 in Junction to Puffer Lake) – CLOSED SR-148 Cedar Breaks National Monument (east of Cedar City) – OPEN Living Traditions Festival returning this weekend Utah's seasonal roads start to open with springtime thaw Sex offender arrested for attempting to meet child in Lehi, documents say Ride the Brainwave with GTU Trump extends 'olive branch' to Iran with stern warning Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
