Technically it could be considered blackmail- "give me money or I will expose your criminal act". I think the idea is that if there's an actual crime, you should call the cops no matter what. Cops might be happy if you spare them the work, but cops don't write the laws. And the guy sounds like a vindictive asshole, so it would be best not to leave him an opening.
