The messages included threats to kill, and the most recent incident happened three days earlier.

The son had been calling and yelling profanities. He accused his family of “fomenting the legal troubles” he was having.

The resident said his daughter was also being threatened. The son had made a statement that he wanted to cut her up in pieces in front of her children.

The daughter will attempt to get copies of the messages.

The caller was advised to also contact police in California, as that agency would be the most likely place where the man would be charged.
