Earthquake Recorded North Of Vernal On Monday

An earthquake north of Vernal was recorded on Monday. According to the University of Utah Seismograph summary, the epicenter of the earthquake was 2.1 magnitude and located 15 miles north/northeast of Vernal on the morning of November 9th at 11:20am. The quake was only 3.1 miles in depth and was not felt, or at least had not been reported yet if it had been felt. Monday’s earthquake was relatively small compared to the few reported in the area in about the last year. In January of 2026, a 4.7 magnitude earthquake was reported in the Uinta Mountains with a depth of 9.1 miles. In the fall of 2025, a 4.1 magnitude earthquake was reported in Uintah County with an epicenter a few miles west of Maeser. That quake was noted as odd because it had a depth of 42.5 miles, which is exceptionally deep. For more information and links to reporting sources, visit earthquakes.utah.gov.

Man Charged/Arrest Warrant Signed After Investigation Into Missing Store Deposits

Consequences are now happening for a man allegedly responsible for a local business’ missing deposits from last summer. The manager of Roosevelt’s Dollar Tree discovered several missing deposits over several weeks. Looking back through security footage, it was found that the employee who volunteered to take the deposit bags to the bank would put the deposit bags into his backpack. Over three days in June, the employee had taken a total of seven deposit bags, totaling an estimated twelve to thirteen thousand dollars. Patrick Daniels, the employee, could not be found and it was reported that he had fled the state and was in California where family lived. 43-year-old Patrick Charles Daniels has been charged with 2nd Degree Felony Theft. An Arrest Warrant was signed by the judge last week.
