Ricardo Medina Jr., who played a Power Ranger (http://huffingtonpost.com/news/power-rangers) in two incarnations of the popular TV series, was arrested on Saturday and accused of killing his roommate with a sword at their Palmdale, Calif., home.
Medina, 36, allegedly got into an argument with roommate Joshua Sutter, also 36, which turned into a physical fight, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
The department said Medina went into his bedroom with his girlfriend, but Sutter followed and forced his way into the room. Then, Medina allegedly grabbed a sword he kept next to the bedroom door and stabbed Sutter in the abdomen (https://local.nixle.com/alert/5347588/?sub_id=1000000473).
Medina called 911, waited at the scene and was booked for murder at Palmdale Sheriff Station, where he is being held in lieu of $1 million bail, the department said.
Medina's agent, Gar Lester, said the accusations were difficult to believe.
“He’s been my friend and client for 12 years and he’s a great guy,” Lester told the Los Angeles Times. “He’s great to his dog, he’s great to his people. He’s really a super person (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-palmdale-stabbing-sword-20150201-story.html).”
The actor, who also performs under the name Rick Medina, is best known for two roles in the "Power Rangers" series: He portrayed Cole Evans/Red Lion Wild Force Ranger in "Power Rangers Wild Force" in 2002 and Deker on "Power Rangers Samurai" in 2011-2012. His IMDb page also lists minor roles in (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1128340/)"ER" and "CSI: Miami."
Medina is expected to appear in Antelope Valley Courthouse (http://sheriff.lacounty.gov/wps/portal/lasd) on Tuesday, according to documents on the department's website.
