Go Go Power Ranger, straight to jail: Ricardo Medina Jr., best known for playing the red Power Ranger in Power Rangers Wild Force in the early 2000s, was arrested Saturday in connection to the stabbing death of his roommate.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies told ABC Los Angeles that Medina called 911 Saturday afternoon to report a stabbing at his home in Green Valley, California. Deputies say that the 36-year-old got into an argument with his roommate, Joshua Sutter, 36, and it turned physical. Sutter allegedly followed Medina and his girlfriend into Medina's bedroom and forced the door open; Medina then stabbed him with a sword he kept in the room. Sutter died at the hospital, and Medina was booked for murder and held in lieu of $1 million bail.
