I can tell you this. My son had a similar situation a couple of years ago. He was pumping gas and had a guy start toward him wanting money. My son told him no but he kept coming. My son told him that he should stop if he valued his life. Never said how or reached for his weapon, just those words. The guy stopped and walked back toward the store and pulled out his cell phone. My son left. My son was stopped by police about a mile away, pulled out of the car, handcuffed and detained. The officer was going to arrest him for "terroristic threat" a class A misdemeaner. Fortunatly I was with him and was able to tell the officer what had actually happened and he released my son (guess it was my old age that convinced him). I can only think about what would have happened had I not been with him that day or if the officer would not have allowed me to tell him what actually happened. He did tel me that Terroristic Threat charges can be as low as a class C misdemeaner to a felony depending how the DA wants to charge him.
