MONTREAL — A man charged with uttering death threats on Facebook armed himself with high-powered weapons because he feared he was being stalked by elves, a Montreal court was told Wednesday.
Quebec provincial police told David Abitbol's bail hearing that he told a friend on the Internet that his .12-gauge shotgun was just what he needed to kill the mythical creatures.
A disturbing portrait emerged of the 28-year-old Abitbol during Wednesday's proceedings in which the Crown reported that an initial evaluation indicated that he was fit to stand trial.
"There's nothing at this point to make us doubt his ability to appear or his fitness to stand trial," said prosecutor Steeve Lariviere.
Besides uttering death threats on the Internet, Abitbol also had child pornography charges laid against him on Wednesday. He had also been previously charged with improperly storing his five firearms.
Sgt. Mathieu Bouliane, a Quebec provincial police investigator, read numerous messages Abitbol had written to correspondents on the Internet in which he said he repeatedly saw and heard elves at home and in stores.
At one point, after hearing static on his office walkie-talkie, he complained the elves had followed him there and he would quit if they showed up again.

Why, there’s trolls right here on FR.
You can't be too prepared.
I wonder what Dennis Kucinich was doing in Quebec.
I don’t think it is legal to use shotguns on elves. It splatters them into pieces and each piece becomes a new elf.
Solid gold .22 to the heart is the only thing that will kill them.
Especially when they have dental licenses.
Maybe he meant ELFs.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, believed in the existence of elves and fairies.
I’ve seen Kucinich drop off his wife on Capitol Hill. She is absolutely beautiful. She stops vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Stunning.
Somewhere I have a DISTURBING picture of the elves in Finland or Sweden staring in the window of a home. Scarey stuff!
Those damn Keebler elves—you can’t trust ‘em!
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.
— Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
Most people O know here are concerned more about Zombies...
But then again, some of us are well prepared for any eventuality...
Zombies, trolls, elves, liberals...etc etc etc...
Well, he is pretty scary.
“high-powered weapons”
Sheesh. The only two they listed was a 12 gauge & a .45acp.
Thought that was his daughter.
“Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, believed in the existence of elves and fairies.”
Well he got the fairy part right.
