Bam Margera Surrenders to Police: Facing Assault Charges and Family Drama
Bam Margera, the former “Jackass” star, recently turned himself in and surrendered to the cops in Pennsylvania after being on the run for about a week. Bam is facing assault charges for allegedly getting into a physical altercation with his brother, Jess Margera.
During his arraignment, the judge ordered Bam to get a drug and alcohol assessment and to stay away from his brother. Bam appeared to be defiant after his release and spoke out about the situation. “I just got out of the courthouse with my lawyers. Everything went great, and the false accusations of what my brother says are not true, and he will be sued for defamation as well as being evicted from Castle Bam sooner than later. The reason I lost my cool is because I read his phone saying he wants me back in California, and he wants to find a way to 302 me. F*** him,” Bam said in a statement.
Bam’s lawyer also spoke out about the situation and defended his client. “He was arraigned and entered his plea of not guilty. He was released on an unsecured bail. Mr. Margera enjoys all of his constitutional rights, including the presumption of innocence. The wild rumors regarding his behavior this week are absolutely false. He is in good health and in good spirits,” the lawyer said.
This incident is just the latest in a series of struggles that Bam has faced in recent years. The 42-year-old has publicly battled substance abuse and mental health issues, and his behavior has been erratic at times. In 2019, he was fired from the “Jackass” franchise due to his substance abuse issues, which had caused delays and other problems during production.
