Actor Ricky Schroder called police Sunday over angry social media posts aimed at the “Silver Spoons” child star after he helped bail out Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen gunman accused of killing two people during a Kenosha, Wisconsin, protest, TMZ reported.
Officers logged a suspicious circumstances report that stops short of considering the posts a criminal threat, according to the entertainment outlet, which cited law enforcement sources. Neither Los Angeles police nor Schroder’s production company immediately responded to HuffPost’s request for comment.
Schroder, 50, drew backlash on social media for a photo that shows him posing with Rittenhouse after donating a reported $150,000 to the accused killer’s $2 million bail. Rittenhouse was released Friday to await trial.
Rittenhouse’s defense lawyer, Lin Wood, posted the photo, thanking the “NYPD Blue” alum and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell “for putting us over the top.”
Schroder apparently posted some of the messages he perceived as threats on Twitter with the message: “To my Democrat friends.”
Rittenhouse is charged with shooting to death two people and wounding one during a Kenosha, Wisconsin, protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. The teen, armed with an AR-15-style rifle, claims he acted in self-defense. He has received support from President Donald Trump and other Republicans.
Schroder, who starred in the 1979 version of “The Champ” with Jon Voight, made news last year with two arrests for suspected domestic abuse within the same month. Prosecutors declined to file charges.
