Here’s a little bit of news that is sure to kill a little piece of your childhood. Walter Jones, who starred as the original Black Power ranger on the 90′s TV series Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, was arrested over the weekend for DUI:
It seems that Jones didn’t pick up any of those morals that he and his Power Ranger cohorts were peddling to kids on their TV show about good vs. evil. It seems that he thinks that it is OK to drink, drive and put other people’s lives in danger … here is the moron’s mug shot:
The guy who played the Black Ranger on “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers” TV show
was busted in ‘Bama for DUI this weekend. We’re not trying to be insensitive in a Harvard sort of way. His character, Zack Taylor, was the guy who dressed up in the black spandex costume and fought evil monsters back in the day. We’re told the actor — whose real name is Walter Jones — was arrested Sunday night by Alabama State Troopers in Huntsville and booked into a local jail. Jones eventually met bail and was released.
Tsk, tsk. I seem to recall that Skylar Deleon, who also appeared on Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers in the 90′s, was arrested, convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a SoCal couple. HMMMM. What the hell happened to all the Power Rangers? I wonder what Amy Jo Johnson (the Pink Power Ranger and ex co-star on Felicity) thinks about this? So sad … so, very sad.

Update on Walter Jones

That’s ridiculous. the alabama cops were just looking for a reason to bust him. He even passed the tests they gave him with flying colors and they still took him in. I met him earlier that night and I knew people that were even hanging out with him later that night and no drinking was involved.
Please the author of this blog needs to get off their high horse.
@Jethro — Giddy up!!
OMG
He was not drunk. My cousin was a cadet doing a ridealong with the officer who arrested him. The person had a personal problem with Walter and that is why he arrested him and wrote a false report.
