Less than six months after he was sentenced to probation and random drug tests after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct during a 2023 family altercation, Bam Margera was once again arrested for DUI and reckless driving.
The former Jackass star is currently behind bars.
According to CBS News, Bam Margera was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police in Fulton County on Sept. 16 and was charged with a misdemeanor for driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.
TMZ also reported that the former stuntman appeared in a Chester County courtroom on Monday, Sept. 23 for violating his probation.
His wife, Dannii, whom he married earlier this year, was reportedly in attendance. However, no other family members were present.
Speaking about the arrest, Bam Margera’s attorney Michael T. Van Der Veen stated that the Jackass alum is still incarcerated. He has been ordered to receive an addiction evaluation before returning to the Justice Center later this week for a follow-up courtroom appearance.
Margera is expected to be released either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
“Bam has been doing very well and for the past year or more has passed all his drug and alcohol screenings,” Van Der Veen explained. “His professional life has been going well and we look forward to his release so he can continue his growth.”
Fans and Critics Alike Call Out Bam Margera Following His Latest Arrest
While Bam Margera continues to remain behind bars, fans and critics take to social media to call him out for his latest arrest.
In his latest Instagram post, which was published less than a week ago, Bam was slammed for his life decisions.
“Bam got to be irresponsible his entire life,” one Instagram user wrote. “The [problem] is.. he’s in his mid-40s now. He never grew up. e never had to take responsibility. Of course, this is his path of trajectory.”
The Instagram user continued to slam Margera by writing, “Until he has real consequences that fame and money cannot buy his way out of.. this pattern will continue. He is an addict because he is uncomfortable being a responsible adult. He doesnt how to act anyway but 12 years old. It’s quite sad.”
They added, “He will come out with lies and excuses for his behavior. He has not yet hit bottom.”
Another Instagram user declared, “The definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results!”
