    Depends on the terms of house arrest, who they threatened and why. As well as local laws.

    For example, if they were threatening a witness in their case it certainly would be a crime.

    And unless (by contacting a victim or witness, for example) the person is violating the terms of the order allowing "house arrest" (as an alternative to jail), I don't see that "the terms of the house arrest", or indeed the fact that the person is under arrest, are relevant.

    The real question is whether the person has committed a crime. That, in turn, would depend upon the criminal statutes of the jurisdiction and exactly what he or she is believed to have threatened to do.
