Felony

What this law says, in plain English

Indiana law prohibits communicating threats with certain intents. Intimidation is generally a Class A misdemeanor, but becomes a Level 6 felony in specific circumstances (such as threats to commit forcible felonies or threats against witnesses), and a Level 5 felony if a deadly weapon is used or the threat targets judicial officers or public officials.
