Question: My ex husband's new wife has made a threat-" that if I ever go to Sierra Vista, she will have her first husbands , friends fron the pen, have me "taken care of"". Her first husband was a drug dealer who was murdered, so this is not something I take lightly. And my daughter hasnt seen her dad for over 2 years, because this woman was verbally abusive to her. She is also a convicted felon. Is this a felony crime? And can I be protected from her, or her thug lifestyle friends? I live in Tucson.

Answer: If ever in immediate danger, call 911. Harassment and assault (attempt to injure another), are crimes. For legal advice about whether either of these crimes have been committed please see a licensed attorney through the lawyer referral service at 602-257-4434. A protective order can be sought,civil court orders prohibit a specific person from making contact such as coming near home, work site, school, or other locations as listed on the order. and information is available at www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov.
