What is menacing?

Menacing is a when a person intentionally threatens another person or that person's immediate family with death or physical injury.

It can also include the repeated following of a person, or a continual course of conduct that intentionally places or attempts to place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury or death.

Menacing is classified as First, Second or Third Degree. Classification depends on numerous factors including:

Whether the charged person was convicted of menacing in the past
Whether a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument or what appears to be a gun or other firearm was displayed
Whether the menacing occurred repeatedly over a period of time
If the menacing was towards a police officer or peace officer
Whether the charged person violated a court order that they had actual knowledge about because he or she was present in court when the order was issued.

Menacing penalties

First Degree menacing is a felony. Second and Third Degree menacing are considered misdemeanors. Severity of the penalty is dependent upon classification of the charge. Penalties may include:

Jail time
Fines
Probation
