The Judge can issue a warrant for his/her arrest even if it is over state lines. But, you need to report or they can not do anything. If he returns to your state, then they can pick him up. In most states it's misdemeanor. Depends on what he said. My nephew did something crazy like that and he lives in Texas and the warrant is from Oklahoma, where the people live that he called and threatened them of bodily harm.

A law suit may not be practical or the right thing to do. The right thing to do is contact your local police department. Without them involved and a legal recording of the incident, you are without the ability to prove anything, it is just hearsay.The local police officers can give you some sound advice. This may also be a federal offense, due to the fact that the call is coming across state lines. Tell this person that you have your line tapped and have a recorder connected, that will probably stop the calls.

Technically yes. But what would you ask for in a lawsuit? Money is the only thing you can really get, and this doesn't sound like its worth much. Probably best not to bother with it. Lawsuits and lawyers cost money and are a big headache.

i don't think the authorities will take your word for it if it was over the phone. it would be your word against his. did you get it on tape? if you did then think you may have a good case. in any event, notify the police because he may come to your town with the idea of doing you and your family harm and there will already be a police report about the incident.

Call the police and file a report. I would file in your state and in his. Personally, I would not file a civil lawsuit, because this guy sounds a little unbalanced, and I think you will only be antagonizing him.

Since her act constitutes a crime, you can institute criminal proceedings. For that, you'll have to file a complaint with the police.

That is not a civil action, it is a crime. Contact the police.

Yes, you can sue for harassment (or whatever it's called in your state). You can also usually file criminal charges.
