Using a Cellphone and Text Messaging to Communicate Threats of Bodily Injury (CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:57:00 GMT

I reside in Virginia and I received 3 consecutive text messages from the eldest son (he is 26) of a woman I am dating. The son lives in Maryland. He used profanity and threatened to "put me in a body bag."

What can be done to address this issue? Would this be a form of simple assault? Threatening? What would the possible punishment be for something like this?

I have the text messages saved and I did not reply to them.

Thanks for your thoughts.
