Even if an individual has no intention of causing any harm to the victim, it is a criminal offense to threaten to cause physical injury or serious property damage. In most instances, the offense is charged as a misdemeanor. Most situations of felony threatening & intimidating involve gang activity and retribution against persons who inform the police of criminal activity.
Unless the threat is contained on a letter, a voice mail, a text message, an email, or some other stored form of communication, the charges often result in a “he said, she said” and may be very difficult to prove or disprove without the presence of an independent witness to corroborate the claims of the alleged victim.
