Jackass star Bam Margera back in prison after arrest over DUI that violated his parole

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I’ve seen it all – from the heights of fame and fortune to the depths of addiction and despair. The story of Bam Margera is a tragic one that echoes the struggles of many who find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of stardom.


Bam Margera is currently detained at Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania, following an arrest for driving under the influence earlier this month. This incident reportedly breached the terms of his probation.

According to Mainline Media News, who reported on Thursday after examining court documents, the former Jackass cast member, aged 44, is expected to stay in detention until a hearing scheduled for Monday, due to alleged rule breaches.

A person originally from West Chester, Pennsylvania is scheduled to show up in court on Monday before Judge Patrick Carmody, according to the report.

Bam Margera, who married fitness model Dannii Marie in New Mexico during May, was apprehended on September 16th in McConnellsburg, Fulton County, due to charges related to DUI and reckless driving, as reported by the source.

The apprehension, managed by the Pennsylvania State Police, violated conditions he had accepted when entering probation in June after admitting guilt for an April 2023 event concerning his brother at the family residence in Pocopson, Pennsylvania.

On Wednesday, Margera was apprehended following a conversation with authorities who found that he had breached his parole at the Justice Center and Pretrial Services office, which houses the county’s probation department.

In relation to his guilty plea on two disorderly conduct charges, the court mandated that Bubba Margera should serve a six-month period of probation under their watchful eye.

According to the agreement of his plea deal, Margera was required to consent to periodic drug screenings and seek treatment for his mental wellness issues.

Additionally, Margera has been scheduled for an initial court appearance regarding the DUI and careless driving allegations against him.

As a lifestyle expert, I can express it this way: From my perspective, when reviewing the court records, it’s clear that Brian Margera’s behavior poses a significant risk not only to him but also to those around him, as stated by Probation Officer Bradford Griffith. This latest breach underscores the need for caution and attention in his current situation.

Griffith stated that Margera failed to adhere to the part of his probation requiring him to seek assistance for substance abuse issues related to drugs and alcohol.

In June, after his guilty plea, Margera expressed gratitude to the judge by saying, “I merely wish to express my thanks for this entire scenario. It offers me an opportunity to straighten out my life. In essence, it’s a hidden blessing.

In a conversation with MediaNews Group in June, he expressed that he was “moving in the correct direction.” He further elaborated, “Given the trajectory I was on with substance abuse, I had to reach a significant low point to make changes for the better.

Originally, Margera faced charges of simple assault and making terroristic threats stemming from the 2023 event. These charges were considered misdemeanors, which, if convicted, could potentially result in imprisonment.

At a hearing held in July 2023, Jess Margera, the older brother of MTV personality Steve-O (real name Steve Margera), stated that Steve’s behavior during an incident on April 23, 2023 was both alarming and unstable. During this incident, he admitted that Steve repeatedly hit him and threatened his girlfriend, as well as their parents, Phillip and Jess Margera.

According to the report, during a hearing, Jess stated that the individual was acting menacingly towards everyone present, and his girlfriend appeared as if she had recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan, suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

According to an arrest affidavit, Margera’s parents reportedly informed a state trooper that Bam allegedly fled towards some surrounding woods after the violent incident.

In 2021, Margera was let go from the production of Jackass Forever following claims that he violated a health agreement he had consented to as part of his involvement in the film.
