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.
