Re: Suspected of making threats

First, and foremost, do not make any statements to the police or ANYONE else beyond what you have done already. Secondly, you should think about consulting with an attorney ASAP about the situation to see where everything is headed. Have you formally been charged? Arraigned?

Feel free to call or e-mail me anytime--cell number is 646-209-8213. I also will need to know many more facts to properly advise you.
