Former “Jackass” star, Bam Margera, is once again making headlines, but this time it’s not for his daring stunts or wild antics. On Monday, Pennsylvania State Police announced that an arrest warrant has been issued for Margera, whose real name is Brandon Margera, on charges of assault (ABC27). Margera is accused of punching his own brother in the face during an altercation and then fleeing the scene (USA Today). Margera’s brother Jess Margera later spoke out about the incident (The US Sun).
This is not the first time Margera has found himself in trouble with the law, as he was also recently arrested for domestic violence (TMZ). Margera allegedly kicked a woman, leading to his arrest. In addition to his legal troubles, Margera has also been open about his struggles with COVID-19. He revealed that he “basically was pronounced dead” after experiencing several seizures in the wake of contracting the virus (TODAY).
Despite his chaotic personal life, Margera remains a beloved figure in the skateboarding community (Morning Call). He has been a prominent member of the sport for many years and even has a surprising connection with Priscilla Presley, as the two were recently seen having lunch together (New York Post).
Now, authorities are asking for the public’s assistance in finding Margera (Morning Call). It remains to be seen how this latest legal issue will play out for the former “Jackass” star.
