Need to stop an attack

This may be off topic here, but it does relate to internet security and
I thought some people here may be able to help. Anyway, I'll say sorry
ahead of time if this is the wrong place to post this: sorry.

I have someone attacking my web server and I have alot of evidence
including his ip address. I even have proof of him threatening me of
more attacks. And these threats have come from multiple sources
(screenshots, log files, msn messenger). I want to get this guy
arrested for the attacks. So, where do I go to get charges brought
against him? The FBI? Police? Somewhere else?

So, the simple question is, when someone is attacking your server and
causing damage to your business, how do you turn him in if you have
evidence? Who should I contact?
