Terroristic Threatening

A friend of mine in Arkansas is 16 years old and attends a public school there. Just recently he was out with some of his friends and they were driving around it was around 2:am and they saw A kid from the high school that they were friends with so they followed him to his house and drove by it slowly once and then they called him from a blocked number and as a joke tryed to scare him and they told him that they wanted there stuff back that he had stolen from him and told him to meet them at a park at 11 o'clock the next day and said just other stupid teenage things.

Later on when the 16 year old returned to school there was three detectives in the office of the school cop asking him about the incident.

They had subpoenad his phone records and saw that he had made the call.
The officer said that it cost AT&T lots of money to get the number. "the number had been *67)

They said that the teen was facing felony charges.

How much does it really cost to get a phone number from AT&T?

The officer said that he had to do extra computer work once he got the number and it cost $800-1200 to get the cell phone number.

Its up to the mother of the 18 year ols that was prank called to decide if she wants to press charges.

Could you tell me some options or information about this information.

Thanks,
Legal Larry

It takes quite a bit to get call trace info these days - calls don't usually go from point a to point b - there are lots of little mom and pop companies and voip sources that transport a call, even within one town. It can take considerable effort to find out which company is the owner of the npa-nxx in question (area code and prefix), and then see if the 1000 digit range has been leased or sold to a smaller company - and THEN subpoena that company to produce a record of the call - which may have been handed from one company to another as it made its way across town. It's not a quick and easy thing to track like you see on TV.

If there are felony charges involved, then the "stupid teenage things" that were said were enough to meet the requirements of the higher level of threats. Tell your friend to get an attorney asap.

The 16 year old was not the one he talked to the boy it was one of his friends and his other friends all back his story.
But it was his cell phone that was used.

I know that you are new here but this should have been started as a new thread.

I am really sorry to hear that someone is treating you and your husband like that.

Since he is telling you that you and your husband "do not deserve to live" I would suggest that you contact your local police and file a complaint.

DO NOT take matters into your own hands as you stated above. It is very important to keep your cool and let the police handle this.

I hope this all works out for you and your husband. Keep us advised and good luck.
