What is the KRS statute for terroristic threatening in the third degree?

• A. KRS 508.060
• B. KRS 508.080
• C. KRS 506.020
• D. KRS 509.080

Answer: (B)

Understanding the degree structure helps here: Kentucky assigns a specific statute to each degree of terroristic threatening. The third degree, being the least severe form, is defined in KRS 508.080. That’s why this is the correct choice—the question asks for the statute that defines terroristic threatening in the third degree, and 508.080 is the statute designated for that level. The other numbers point to different offenses or to other degrees, so they do not define the third-degree version. If you’re studying, it’s useful to know that the degree you’re charged with comes with its own statute and elements, and 508.080 is the one for the third degree.
