Actor Austin St. John, best known for being the original Red Power Ranger, has been arrested for alleged wire fraud.
Jason Lawrence Geigerbetter known by his stage name Austin St Johnplayed the Original Red Power Ranger in the series that entertained the little ones from 1993 to 1999 (with multiple repetitions on different networks). Over the years, she returned to repeat the role as in the series Power Rangers Beast Morphers or the video game Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid.
Now, the United States Department of Justice accuses the Power Ranger Red original and seventeen others with conspiracy to commit wire fraud as they allegedly participated in a scheme to defraud lenders and the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program.
We’ll have to wait to see what happens Austin St Johnbut has several projects underway outside the power Rangers. For example three milkswhere three friends must drive a car full of marijuana across the country. Gideon’s Frontier based on Gideon’s story from the Book of Judges. A horror film titled Survival’s End Y The Order which is about a covert group of vigilantes who are dedicated to eliminating violent threats and impending disasters.
They wanted to reunite the original team!
It has been speculated for some time that Hasbro wanted to do a special program for the 30th anniversary and for that they wanted to bring together the Power Ranger Red (Austin St. John), with the Pink (AmyJo Johnson), Blue (David Yost), Green (Jason David Frank) and Black (Walter Jones). Although it must be remembered that Thuy Trang who played the Yellow Power Ranger original passed away at the age of 27.
So if he Power Ranger Red faces legal problems and cannot count on the Yellow because of his death in 2001, that big reunion probably won’t happen.
