Can you give me a definition of blackmail?
In this instance, a person is threatening to tell my wife about a transgression on my part if I do not pay him $500.00 as a deductible on car repair. Someone, proabably a furious ex-girlfriend keyed "cheater" on two cars and he wants me to pay for it. I have had nothing to do with this vandalism and there are even surveilance tapes in the parking lot where he works that would prove this. I have told him that he has to go to the police and look at the tapes. He won't do that, convinced that it was me.
I consider this a form of blackmail. I have no intention of paying him a dime but I do have his threats to me on text messages. Should I go to the police?

That is indeed the definition of blackmail. However, your message is confusing. He thinks you did this to his car, or he knows about something else you did that you don't want your wife to find out about?
