Justin Roiland

High on Life, Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland has been charged with felony domestic violence charges in Orange County, California.

This news comes after the recent release of High on Life on December 13th, 2022, which is a comedic FPS game created by Roiland and developed and published by Squanch Games. All details and evidence of this case, such as body-cam footage and medical reports, are not made known to the public: neither is the affidavit against Roiland.

He has also executive produced and acted on animated titles Koala Man and Rick and Morty spinoff The Vindicators. Roiland pleaded not guilty in 2020, according to the court docket, and was released on a $50,000 bond in August of that year. According to the May 2020 felony complaint, which The Hollywood Reporter has obtained, Roiland has been charged with one count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud or deceit. To be clear, not only is Justin innocent but we also have every expectation that this matter is on course to be dismissed once the district attorney’s office has completed its methodical review of the evidence. Edward Welbourn said, “It is hard to overstate how inaccurate the recent media coverage of this situation has been. NBC News has reported that “a protective order filed in October 2020 and documented in the court minutes said Roiland is not to harass, threaten or surveil the person named in the protective order.” The news outlet also reported that during Thursday’s pre-trial hearing, Roiland’s attorney stated that the show creator had been presented with a plea offer; no other details of the plea offer were immediately available. In addition to his work as a show creator, Roiland has voice acted in a long list of projects, with roles including playing main characters on his own Rick and Morty (as Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith) and Solar Opposites (as Korvo) and additional appearances on Mystery Science Theater 3000, Adventure Time and Robot Chicken, among other projects. In 2016, Roiland co-founded the video game studio Squanchtendo (now Squanch Games), which has produced Accounting+, Trover Saves the Universe and High on Life. We look forward to clearing Justin’s name and helping him move forward as swiftly as possible.” The complaint alleges that Roiland “did wilfully and unlawfully inflict corporal injury resulting a traumatic condition” upon a Jane Doe “who was in a dating relationship with the defendant.” The complaint further alleges that Roiland “did unlawfully violate the personal liberty of Jane Doe by violence, menace, fraud and deceit.” [Share this article on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/&title=‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges&sdk=joey&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button&app_id=1153511048447777) [Share this article on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/&text=%E2%80%98Rick%20and%20Morty%E2%80%99%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges&via=thr) [Share this article on Email](mailto:?subject=thr%20:%20‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges&body=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/%20-%20‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges) [Show additional share options](#) [Share this article on Print]() [Share this article on Comment](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/#respond) [Share this article on Whatsapp](whatsapp://send?text=‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges%20-%20https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/) [Share this article on Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=1&url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/&title=‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges&summary&source=thr) [Share this article on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/&title=‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges) [Share this article on Pinit](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/&description=‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges) [Share this article on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/widgets/share/tool/preview?shareSource=legacy&canonicalUrl&url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/justin-roiland-domestic-violence-charges-1235298533/&posttype=link&title=‘Rick%20and%20Morty’%20Co-Creator%20Justin%20Roiland%20Facing%20Domestic%20Violence%20Charges) [Justin Roiland](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/justin-roiland/), the co-creator of [Rick and Morty](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/rick-morty/) and Solar Opposites, is facing domestic violence charges in Orange County, California, based on an alleged 2020 incident.
