No, but the district attorney can. Usually the charge is making terrorist threats, a felony.

If you make threats on a phone or other medium of communication, you can be charged with a range of felonies, including terrorist threats. The police were called in specifically to record the threats to enable prosecution of a crime. Hire an attorney immediately, you're going to need one. If the court is in SoCal, LA/OC area, feel free to contact me.
