What to do if I was recently in a car accident and both parties decided to settle out of court but now I’m being harassed?

I was on a road trip, so I gave my information and took his so I could stay in contact while he got his damages assessed. He stated that the only damage needed to be repaired was a paint touch up, for $100. While trying to figure things out, the individual started threatening me and harassing: at work he called me saying what the amount was for repair and I text back saying I would call later since I was at work. He then proceed to call multiple times leaving threatening voicemails saying that he would go to the police, even though I was being compliant. He has called me 12 times in the last 2 days, with threatening voicemails. Is this harassment?
