Former “Jackass” star Bam Margera will spend six months on probation after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct Wednesday over an altercation at his home near Philadelphia. The plea ends a misdemeanor assault case that stemmed from what his brother called a “frightening and unpredictable” two-week visit home last year.
FILE - This Jan. 14, 2013 file photo shows Bam Margera at the LA premiere of “The Last Stand” at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. The former “Jackass” star will spend six months on probation after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct Wednesday, June 26, 2024, over an altercation with his brother at his home near Philadelphia last year.
The plea ends a long legal case that spun out of his stay at the Chester County home known as Castle Bam. At a hearing last year, Margera told the judge he was getting drug and alcohol treatment. Jess Margera, at the same court hearing, called his brother “a good dude when he’s not messed up” but said he had exhibited troubling behavior for two decades and, while home, had been awake for days. Jess Margera suffered a ruptured eardrum in the altercation, while Margera’s girlfriend called police when he kicked in her bedroom door, the brother testified.
Defense lawyer William J. Brennan said Margera pleaded guilty to two summary offenses, and is now clean, sober and productive a year after the arrest.
