16-300. THE PEOPLE, res, v. MELINDA MONET, def-app — Judgment of conviction (Raja Rajeswari, J.), rendered October 9, 2015, affirmed.

The misdemeanor complaint was jurisdictionally valid because it described facts of an evidentiary nature establishing reasonable cause to believe that defendant was guilty of aggravated harassment in the second degree (see Penal Law §240.30[1][a]). Allegations that defendant addressed a letter to a retired New York City police detective, in which she threatened to “kill” the detective “and his son,” and made a telephone call several months later, in which she threatened that she would “shoot [the detective] and his kid and blow up his home,” were sufficient at the pleading stage to support a finding that defendant’s communications placed the detective in reasonable fear for his safety (see Penal Law §240.30[1]; People v. Thomas, 58 AD3d 445, 446 [2009], lv denied 12 NY3d 788 [2009]; People v. Green, 41 Misc 3d 134[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 51863[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2013], lv denied 22 NY3d 1139 [2014]).
