Baytown woman wanted after CenterPoint employee was threatened with murder on social media

Baytown, Texas – A Baytown woman is accused of threatening to kill CenterPoint Energy employees in a series of posts on her X account, according to documents obtained exclusively by KPRC 2. She was accused of murdering CenterPoint Energy employees there, days after Hurricane Beryl left more than 2 million people without power.

Rogan Brentae Miles, 21, faces charges of terroristic threatening after an investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety found that she threatened murder, aggravated assault and deadly conduct against employees at CenterPoint’s corporate headquarters in downtown Houston.

She is currently being sought.

Miles is said to have made several posts on an X account on Friday, July 12, in which he apparently singled out CenterPoint CEO Jason Wells.

At 7:44 a.m. on Friday, Miles posted, according to the records: “Jason, Jason, Jason. Do I have to make an example of Heather to make you finally understand that people are sick of your bullshit? Maybe you deserve trauma, an engraved memory of your wife’s skull scattered on the sidewalk like freshly popped confetti.”

A few minutes later, she posted: “It’s not until I actually show up and show something that you guys will understand how people feel. Threats are being made because nothing is being done. I’m going to show you the best example of fooling around and find out,” recordings show.

That afternoon, she posted again: “Action is the best response, 2 hours, see you soon Jason,” along with a video of a loaded firearm magazine, records show.

She allegedly wrote several more posts, some of them with videos of a loaded gun magazine.

“We need to bombard their headquarters on Louisiana Street. Once we respond loudly enough, they will finally listen to us. Free speech does nothing, lobotomies do a lot,” one of the posts said, records show.

According to the records, some of their posts were removed because they violated the user agreement.

CenterPoint reported the threats to the Texas Fusion Center, which is described as “a 24/7 unit that works with federal, state, regional and local law enforcement agencies and serves as the state’s repository of homeland security information and incident reports.”

Using an emergency public disclosure request, DPS investigators with the Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division were able to obtain Miles’ contact information from X (formerly known as Twitter).

When investigators contacted her by phone, she reportedly said the posts were written “in the heat of the moment” and admitted to sourcing the magazine’s videos from another social media platform.

She told investigators that she “didn’t make the best decisions” but that she did not have any firearms on her person, according to records.

Miles did not respond to a call or text message from KPRC 2’s Bryce Newberry. She does not appear to have a criminal history in Harris County.

In an X-post on Friday evening, DPS warned against making threats against energy companies online or in person.

CenterPoint issued the following statement to KPRC 2:

“Unfortunately, as we continue to rebuild after Hurricane Beryl, we have seen an increase in violence against our teams, at substations, and among our mobile power generation teams. This includes reports of a drive-by shooting at one of our staging sites and multiple teams being threatened with weapons over the past two days. Yesterday, someone pulled over and started hitting one of our relief trucks with a pipe. The safety of our employees, contractors, relief teams, and relief workers is our top priority. This behavior is criminal, dangerous to our workers who are separated from their own families to turn the power on for the rest of us, and counterproductive to us getting the power back on. We continue to reach out to government officials and law enforcement for help—and they are helping—and we are asking all of our communities and their leaders to help protect the men and women who are separated from their own families so they can turn the lights and air conditioning on for everyone else’s families.”
