1Opinion of the Court
TERNUS, Justice.
Defendant, Timothy Milner, was convicted of threat of arson based on statements he made to employees of the Department of Employment Services (DES) between June 13 and June 16, 1995. See Iowa Code § 712.8 (1995). He appeals, claiming (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction, and (2) the statute under which he was convicted is overbroad and vague. We find substantial evidence in the record to support Milner’s conviction of threatening arson and we detect no constitutional infirmity in section 712.8. Therefore, we affirm.
