Hi tpajet,
Yes when the police were here I showed the officer the text message.
I was able to give the cop this info about my ex-roommate;

-His make/model and license plate number. (his car is registered in NY, we live in Rhode Island.)
-His cell phone number

Hi,
I used this forum once before and got some good advice, now I'm back with a very bizarre situation....
