Bam Margera’s shocking arrest – “Jackass” star surrenders after assault case

In a shocking turn of events, former “Jackass” star Bam Margera has surrendered to authorities after a warrant was issued for his arrest. The 43-year-old reality TV personality has been accused of assaulting his brother, Jesse Margera, during a domestic disturbance at their Pennsylvania home. The incident has sparked controversy and left fans and onlookers stunned.

According to court documents, Jesse Margera reported that Bam pounded and kicked his locked bedroom door before engaging in a violent confrontation in the kitchen. Allegedly, Bam punched his brother in the eye, nose, and ear, leaving him with minor injuries. Adding to the drama, Jesse discovered a threatening note signed by Bam, further escalating tensions.

The situation took a dramatic turn when Bam fled the property on foot through dense woods, evading the arrival of state troopers. However, his escape was short-lived, as he ultimately turned himself into Pennsylvania State Police in Avondale. The arrest warrant charged him with simple assault, harassment, and four counts of terroristic threats.

Despite the serious accusations, Bam Margera maintains his innocence. In a statement following his surrender, he vehemently denied the allegations and expressed his intention to pursue legal action against his brother for defamation. He also vowed to evict Jesse from “Castle Bam” in the near future, claiming that the incident was provoked by Jesse’s desire to have Bam returned to California and involuntarily committed.

Bam Margera’s attorney, Michael van der Veen, has affirmed his client’s plea of not guilty and emphasized that Bam enjoys the presumption of innocence. Van der Veen also dismissed the rumors surrounding Bam’s behavior, asserting that they are completely false. He assured the public that Bam is in good health and good spirits.

This recent controversy is not the first time that Bam Margera has faced legal troubles. In 2021, he filed a lawsuit against Paramount, Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, and Jeffrey Tremaine, alleging wrongful termination from the “Jackass” franchise’s fourth film. The lawsuit claimed that Bam was coerced into signing a “wellness agreement” and wrongfully fired after testing positive for the prescription drug Adderall, which he requires to treat his attention deficit disorder.

As Bam Margera awaits his court hearing scheduled for the end of May, the public watches with bated breath to see how this scandalous saga unfolds. The once-beloved star has found himself embroiled in controversy, and the outcome of his legal battle will determine his future both personally and professionally.
