Weird. I wonder what is motivating her to do this? In any event, the law (pasted below) requires a "course of conduct" that 1) would put a "reasonable person" in fear of their safety or 2) you have reason to know would cause her to become afraid or 3) violates a restraining order.

Assuming no threats were made while driving down a public street three times, it is not the type of "conduct" as prohibited by the statute.

So there's either something more to the story or she has a very active imagination.

If she has reported this to the police or if the police try to speak to you about this allegation, you should seek advice of counsel BEFORE talking to police. It is very easy to inadvertently say something that can hurt your case. Also, the police are notorious for hearing what they want to hear. So do yourself a big favor and get an attorney if there is a case pending.

If she has just said this to you, I think the best thing you can do is stay far away from her. She obviously is quick to assume the worst of you. There's really no reason to hang out with someone like this.

I hope this helps. If so, please click Accept so that I may get credit for my time.

Good luck.
