I work in an at-will state. Resigned because my boss wasn’t logging my hours properly. He’s trying to retaliate with legal action for “breach of contract”

The title explains most of my situation. I live in an at-will state. I worked for a private healthcare company. Basically I've been there a little less than a month. In this short time, my hours were being tracked on paper, but I have had trouble clocking in and out (hence why I've been logging my hours on paper).

My boss/the company's owner left me a voicemail saying his lawyer will be reaching out to me through mail for breaching my contract, even though my state is an at-will employer. What did he expect me to do? Work the 2 weeks without pay, had I given a 2 week notice? I called back explaining that I am allowed to resign effective immediately, and that I am owed the hours I worked. He then accused me of being “an alien”, and that my “alien fingerprints” were the reason my time wasn't being logged properly. Thanks for reading this, reddit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
