Harassment

A person commits the crime of harassment if, with intent to harass, annoy, or alarm another person, he or she either:

• Strikes, shoves, kicks, or otherwise touches a person or subjects him or her to physical contact.
• Directs abusive or obscene language or makes an obscene gesture towards another person.

Harassment includes a threat, verbal or nonverbal, made with the intent to carry out the threat, that would cause a reasonable person who is the target of the threat to fear for his or her safety. You need a Birmingham Alabama Harassment Defense Attorney if you have been charged with this crime.
