Ex-‘Jackass’ star Bam Margera found after arrest warrant issued


Bam is on the lam no longer.

Disgraced “Jackass” alum Bam Margera has surrendered to authorities just days after Pennsylvania police announced a warrant to arrest him for assaulting his brother, Jess, among other charges.

A spokesman for the state police department broke the news in a tweet Thursday morning.

The 43-year-old reality star turned himself in to the station in Avondale, police said. He was “fingerprinted and photographed before being arraigned” at a district court.

Margera was then released on $50,000 bond with a preliminary hearing slated for May at a court in Chester County, court records state.

The “Viva La Bam” star is currently facing multiple charges, including four counts of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another and one count of simple assault.

This concludes a weeklong saga that began Monday morning after Avondale station police responded to a domestic disturbance reported in Pocopson Township, a Philadelphia suburb.

According to the report, Bam’s brother, Jess Margera, had caught his brother peeing in the kitchen sink.

This caused Bam to become “aggressive” and start punching Jess in the eye, nose and ear, causing him to sustain minor injuries, NBC reported.

Jess, who is a drummer, said that his sibling also left an ominous note that read “If you even f–king think of calling the police on me I will officially f–k you up.”

By the time police arrived, the stuntman had reportedly fled into the woods.

It’s yet unclear where Bam spent the past three days. But his brother tweeted that the Pennsylvania native was with his new girlfriend and her 8-year-old child — whom Jess was reportedly “worried” about, given the circumstances.

In another tweet, Jess claimed that his bro’s “meth habit” had rendered him “unrecognizable & I really don’t know what he’s capable of.”

Bam’s attorney Michael van der Veen maintained that Jess’ claims are false.

“The rumors that have been being passed around by his brother through this last week have been nothing short of defamation and that will be handled in another courthouse,” said the lawyer while leaving court with his client.
