I Recently Had The Cops Called On Me At 10 Pm Claiming That I Had Threatened Someone Over The Phone I Had A Falling Out Months Ago.

Throwaway account for obvious reasons. Location: I’m a Colorado Resident.

A couple days ago three deputy sheriff’s came to my house and I got woken up by a family member claiming that they were here to talk to me about an interaction I had with a former friend. That family member let them in to the house without a warrant (Which I’m still upset about because they would’ve just left because they couldn’t find any evidence that I threatened anyone.) claiming that I threatened him over the phone while calling his place of work. They were definitely digging for something and asked to see my phone which I told them I don’t give them consent to search my phone. They then promptly left because they had no evidence of the alleged threats I made towards him. I have never called and threatened anyone in my life and I have no criminal record.

I know for a fact that this person has a vendetta against me because of previous threats he made towards me. I am also certain that this call he made to police was not in good faith and was a misuse of police resources which I’m pretty sure is illegal.

Now I don’t want to file a report against him. I’m not that petty and I would rather have this matter resolved without escalation. But I was wondering if there is a way to give him a warning by filing some sort of complaint. I lost sleep over this, and I feel like I’m doing a disservice to society letting this person roam free without any consequences. I have had my life messed up many times by false allegations and I want to ensure he gets the message that what he did was not ok.

If more information is needed I will edit the post.
