Bam Margera arrested at the Radnor Hotel, police say

Former Jackass star Bam Margera was arrested in Radnor Township following an incident at the Radnor Hotel early Wednesday morning, a police source told The Inquirer.

The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of not being authorized to discuss the case, said Margera was cited for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

Radnor police received a call about an argument between a man and a woman at the Radnor Hotel around 3 or 4 a.m. When police arrived on scene, they allegedly found Margera intoxicated. He was taken into custody and brought to the local police station, and was released later Wednesday morning to a friend, the source said.

Margera’s lawyer, Michael T. van der Veen, said his understanding was that Margera was not arrested, but rather was only cited in connection with the incident.

“With citations, as with arrests, he enjoys the presumption of innocence,” van der Veen said. “I am not sure what transpired to lead to the citation, but we will be looking into it.”

The incident is the latest in a string of troubles for the former MTV star. Last month, a Chester County judge ruled that Margera will go to trial on charges that he assaulted his brother, Jesse, and made terroristic threats toward family members in April.

As part of that case, Magisterial District Judge Albert Michael Iacocca ordered that Margera remain within the five-county Philadelphia region until the matter is resolved. He also ordered that Margera report to a rehabilitation center in Devon, and that he is to cooperate with random drug and alcohol screenings. Margera was also told to avoid criminal contact with his brother and his brother’s girlfriend.

Additionally, as part of Margera’s bail release conditions, he was ordered to take part in “no drug or alcohol use.” It was not immediately clear how the Wednesday incident might effect his ongoing court case.

“All of my information is that he is in complete compliance with the requirements of his bail conditions,” van der Veen said.

Last month, Iacocca warned Margera to abide by his bail terms.

“You don’t have an excuse for this,” Iacocca said. “This is not a joke. This is not a movie. This is life.”
