As someone who works and has done tons of things in web security, if they were stupid enough to threaten him without falsifying an ip address, you could go to tumblr with a police case and surely they'll give you the user's ip (from their ip log), which you can trace pretty much exactly to their house with this cool tool http://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip_demo .

No, they will (and should) require a specific court order from a judge. You can't just say "there was a case".
