If someone is sending hate mail including thinly veiled threats to kill their victim, and they ultimately get arrested for it, by what exact words would the arresting officer refer to the offence?
So far I'm thinking of "I'm placing you under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder" or "sending threatening material" or some variation on "intimidation" or "abuse", but if there is an exact phrase that would be used then I'd like to get it right.
(The story is set in the US -- specifically West Virginia if that makes a difference.)
Thanks,
T.
