Jail for former power ranger (by james85)
Ex-Power Rangers actor Ricardo Medina has been arrested after his flatmate was fatally stabbed with a sword.
LA Police claim he was involved in an argument with Joshua Sutter at their home.
It's believed the actor then joined his girlfriend in his bedroom and closed the door.
Officers think Joshua Sutter later forced his way into the room and was stabbed in the stomach with a sword kept by the door.
The 36-year-old was arrested after calling emergency services.
Joshua Sutter, also 36, was pronounced dead in hospital.
Ricardo Medina played the Red Ranger on Power Rangers Wild Force in 2002 and later played Deker on Power Rangers Samurai.
He's being held in police custody on suspicion of murder with bail set at $1m (£665,000). He is due in court on Tuesday

Update: Ex-Power Rangers actor Ricardo Medina has been released without charge after his flatmate was stabbed to death with a sword.
Lawyers for the 36-year-old said he was acting in self defence after he was assaulted by Joshua Sutter at their home in LA.
Prosecutors have decided not to file charges, instead asking detectives to carry on investigating.
Speaking three days after his arrest, the actor said he was "very sorry".
He added: "I am very happy to be out of jail and my heart goes out to the Sutter family".
Medina said he and a female friend locked themselves in his bedroom after a row with Sutter.
He claimed his flatmate kicked the door open, at which point he grabbed the sword to protect himself.
His lawyer, Allen Bell said: "There simply aren't facts here for a crime. It is a self defence case.
"You have an individual here who was the victim of a beating in the kitchen area before he went to the bedroom and locked the door to secure himself from any continuing violence.
"He kicked the door in to continue the aggression", he continued.
