Answer:
In Ohio, the law defines menacing as knowingly causing someone to believe that you will cause them or their property physical harm (Ohio Rev. Code § 2903.22). This offense is classified as a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. However, if the victim is an employee of a public or private child services agency, and the offense relates to their official duties, it can be elevated to a misdemeanor of the first degree. Additionally, if the offender has a prior conviction for a violent offense against such an employee, it may be charged as a felony of the fourth degree.
