Pennsylvania State Police issued an arrest warrant for the beleaguered Bam Margera, who played in MTV’s “Jackass,” after he was accused of striking his brother over the weekend.
Authorities said the incident took place Sunday at Pocopson Township around 11 a.m. when Margera picked a fight with his brother Jesse, then fled into the woods. Jesse suffered minor injuries from the attack.
Margera is wanted on four counts of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, one count of simple assault and a final count of harassment while subjecting another to physical contact.
The police report obtained by TMZ said Margera banged on his brother’s bedroom door around 8 a.m. and left a note that threatened Jesse if he called the police. Jesse then went downstairs and the fight broke out.
Police said Jesse suffered multiple blows to the head. He told police that Margera threatened to “put a bullet in [Jesse’s] head” and kill everyone in the house, which included their dad, Phil, and two women.
Margera has struggled with substance abuse and legal issues throughout his public life.
He was arrested twice last month in California, once for domestic abuse and another for public intoxication, according to Entertainment Weekly. Margera hasn’t been charged with any crimes related to the domestic abuse incident.
He was previously convicted of a DUI in California in 2018 but was put on probation instead of serving jail time, per TMZ.
Margera, who is also a former pro skater, sued his “Jackass” co-stars in 2021 after being booted from the production of “Jackass Forever.” The two parties settled for an undisclosed amount in 2022.
