Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

I was given a summons by a detective for NJS 2C:33-4A...

I had argument with a girl on the computer/facebook..She went to the police..They came to my home and told me just not to contact her anymore..Well she went on facebook and was telling everybody what happened and that she had the police come to my house etc..

When my sister called me to ask me what was going with her, i said you heard about this too ?? I sent the girl a one line sentence text, I said ''you're starting this crap again'' maybe i will go to the police now''

A judge said there was probably cause for issuance of complaint/summons...

I didnt swear at her, threaten her or anything...I basically just wanted to put her on notice that i might go to the police if she didn't stop...

Is that really probable cause for harassment ??
