Waterloo regional police say a man from Woolwich, Ont., was arrested after threats were recently made against an unnamed MP from the area.
Police say they were contacted by the MP on Thursday after they had received the threats online.
They say officers conducted an investigation before a 44-year-old man from Woolwich was arrested on Friday. He is facing a charge of uttering threats to cause death.
They say he will appear in court on March 20.
Kitchener-Conestoga MP Tim Louis released a statement on Twitter on Monday morning which said that he was the MP who launched the complaint.
“On February 2, my office contacted the Waterloo Regional Police Service regarding death threats I received,” the statement read in part.
The Liberal MP said he would not be making any further comment about the incident since the matter is before the courts.
