Dear XXXXXXX - I would advise that you not talk to the police. always have the right to remain silent and talking to the police is probably the worst thing you can do. I cannot comment on the details of what you are reporting that you said in your email. It is possible that it can be considered as a threat but there is no point in you elaborating on the content.
If they want to file charges they will do so and what you say to them will not help. They will try to get you to admit that you were angry etc and then use your statements against you. I would tell the police that you are not going to make any statements and that you are not going to come in to the station. They cannot force you to talk at any time and the only way they can force you to come in is to arrest you.
If charges are filed keep quiet and call an attorney. Talking to the police is always a bad idea unless you are represented by counsel.

The 5th Amendment to the US Constitution is controlling and is the basis of your right to remain silent and not be forced to incriminate yourself.

I didn't say you broke any law. Obviously you haven't been charged so it's anybodies guess what they could charge you with. The point is that you need to keep quiet and if you are charged with anything you should get an attorney and continue to keep quiet. It doesn't matter what the charge may be only that you don't help them with their evidence.
