When was the last time you heard of someone getting thrown in jail for threats?

Unfortunately we don't have enough details to fully understand what has transpired here.
What I do know is that most judges aren't going to put someone in jail, without a solid reason.
I also know that he tension between Mr. Owen, and Camp Belknap has been escalating, since the Owen family took ownership of the Island. Somewhere along the way I am sure laws have been broken, and now a price is being paid, because there was sufficient evidence for the state to step in and file criminal charges.... It is very possible the Camp Belknap has had to deal with the state as well, just not at the same criminal level... we simply just don't know...
