Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

I have a "friend" who I let get a vehicle in my name back in december. He and I are no longer friends and have went our separate ways. He sent me text messages a few days ago stating that if I didn't pay his car payment, he would "get evil." I replied to him and told him I did not care if he kept the vehicle, but I would not be paying for it...he would have to. He then sent me an "exposed" picture of me that he had and stated "don't let sh*t mess you up." He now has said that he will send the pictures to my place of employment. I work at a school and that would not be good. I am now trying to figure out what my next action should be. I am not paying for the car payment. What should I do?

You could contact your local states attorney or police, since this would seem to be extortion. If you do not make the car payment, it will adversely affect your credit.
