Bam Margera Ordered to Undergo Addiction Evaluation After DUI Arrest
A Pennsylvania judge has mandated that the former 'Jackass' star remain in custody until the assessment is complete, following a probation violation.
- Bam Margera was arrested on September 16 for driving under the influence and other related charges, violating his probation.
- The former reality TV star's probation stems from a June plea deal for disorderly conduct charges related to a 2023 family altercation.
- Margera's blood alcohol content was recorded at 0.140, nearly double the legal limit in Pennsylvania.
- Judge Patrick Carmody has ordered Margera to stay in jail until a drug and alcohol evaluation is completed, expected by Tuesday.
- Margera's legal team is advocating for his placement in a rehab facility, emphasizing the need for treatment rather than punishment.
