This is the best summary I could come up with:

Former Alberta UCP MLA Derek Fildebrandt faces criminal charges, accused of threatening a group of teenagers, CBC News has learned.

Fildebrandt, 38, who is now the publisher of the Western Standard news website, faces four charges of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, according to court documents.

Fildebrandt says he simply shouted at them to "stay off my property" and then called Calgary police in hopes officers would give the boys "a talking to."

"When my property was under attack, I did what every citizen has a right to do: loudly tell them to stop, call the police and non-physically confront them," wrote Fildebrandt.

Fildebrandt apologized and repaid more than $2,500 after it was revealed he was subletting his Edmonton apartment on Airbnb while claiming his taxpayer-funded housing allowance as an MLA.

That same day, then-UCP leader Jason Kenney announced Fildebrandt would not be allowed to rejoin caucus after he'd stepped down six months earlier.
