A Florida man dressed as a Power Ranger was arrested, authorities said, after he was accused of pointing a gun and make threats at a public pool in Tampa, the AP reported. The suspect was found with two fake weapons that resembled real handguns, rather than the blade blasters and thunder slingers featured on the 1990s show.
Officials found Justin Duarte, a 24-year-old from Tampa, in a red Power Ranger costume about to drive off from the Bobby Hicks Pool, the Tampa Bay Times reported, after the threat had been reported via a 9-11 call Thursday afternoon. Officials found two realistic looking fake handguns upon searching Duarte.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, the victim of Duarte’s threats ran from the scene. Duarte faces aggravated assault charges.
