Hector David Jr. : Former Green Power Ranger misbehaves
It’s ironic that one of the Power Rangers, who we watched save their community and defeat evil, now overshadows our childhood memories by being jailed for assaulting an elderly man using a walker.
In January 2025, Hector David Rivera, the Green Power Ranger actor, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and received a 45-day jail sentence. He is currently 35 years old.
During a parking conflict in Nampa, Idaho, in July 2024, Rivera assaulted an elderly man who was using a walker. A dashboard camera captured the confrontation, showing Rivera pushing the man to the ground, pointing aggressively at the elderly man, and then hopping into his car.
Station reports say, ‘After pushing the man down, the suspect left him on the ground and drove away in a raised-up black 4-door truck with a Texas license plate.’
