Ethan Jamieson, who appeared in the blockbuster film "The Hunger Games" as the District 4 male tribute, has been arrested on three felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
The charges relate to an incident that occurred on March 23, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Jamieson played a tribute from District 4 in the first Hunger Games film, which was released in 2012 and became a massive global hit.
Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill is a serious felony charge that can carry lengthy prison sentences if convicted. The specific details of what happened on March 23 and what weapons were allegedly involved have not been disclosed in available court documents.
The Hunger Games franchise, based on Suzanne Collins' novels, starred Jennifer Lawrence and grossed nearly $3 billion worldwide across four films. While Jamieson had a smaller role as one of the tributes, the arrest brings unwanted attention to the popular franchise.
This arrest involves an actor from one of the biggest movie franchises of the 2010s. The serious charges could mean significant prison time if he's convicted.
Jamieson will likely face arraignment and court proceedings. More details about the alleged incident may emerge as the case moves forward.
