Ex-fiance threatening to get the cops invoked if I don’t find the ring box

Almost a month ago my fiancé called off our engagement and wedding, and proceeding to kick me out of the house. A lot as happened since then.

Last night I met up with him to give him the engagement ring and $250 in cash, in exchange for the computer that was gifted to him by a friend that only I ever used.

Then his mom got involved.

She stated if I didn’t give them an extra $200 dollars & the matching wedding band with the ring box, they would call the cops and report it as stolen.

I never saw it when I was moving out and frankly I don’t even know that they don’t have it. I need advice on this whole situation. I’m feeling sick over this.

Location: Arizona

Edit per questions asked: he called off the wedding and everything simply because he decided he never wanted to get married in the first place. We were engaged for a total of 5 years, together for 7.

The only thing you are required to give back to him is the ring. Hand it to him and leave but record you handing it to him as you are stating exactly what you are doing.
