re: #264 Cato the Elder

I figure this happened in DC, so, let’s go to DC law (via Michie).
22-403. Assault with intent to commit any other offense [Formerly § 22-503].

Whoever assaults another with intent to commit any other offense which may be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary shall be imprisoned not more than 5 years.

This would be the likely charge if law enforcement does take any action.

22-407. Threats to do bodily harm [Formerly § 22-507].

Whoever is convicted in the District of threats to do bodily harm shall be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, in addition thereto, or in lieu thereof, may be required to give bond to keep the peace for a period not exceeding 1 year.
