BAM MARGERA CASE

Following what police described as a "disturbance" at the Chester County home known as Castle Bam, Margera fled the area. In a statement, police said that Margera was involved in a physical confrontation with a victim who suffered minor injuries at the home on Hickory Hill Road in Pocopson Township around 11 a.m.

In an affidavit, Margera's brother, Jesse, said that the former Jackass star had banged on his locked bedroom door that morning, and left a note threatening him if he called the police. Jesse added that he later found Margera urinating in the kitchen sink, and the confrontation came to blows.

Margera, Jesse said, began punching him in the right side of his face and his left ear, and threatened to kill everyone in the house. Margera fled the scene before police arrived.

Pennsylvania State Police announced that they issued a warrant for Margera's arrest. Margera was wanted on misdemeanor charges, including terroristic threats, simple assault, and harassment.

As Pennsylvania State Police continued to search for Margera, his mother, April Margera, spoke to the media, saying that her son "just needs to settle down and get it straight."

"We all love him so much, and we just want to help him, and we are not against him," April Margera told Fox News. "We just want to try to get him help."

She added that Margera had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and hadn't been taking his medication. And Margera, who had long struggled with substance use disorder and alcoholism, needed to "just grab a hold of sobriety and get back to himself," she said.

Jesse, meanwhile, addressed the situation on social media, calling his injuries "no big whoop." His brother, he said, had "been up for about a week at this point and is hallucinating," and needed to get help.

Margera turned himself in to authorities and was arraigned at a Chester County courthouse. He pleaded not guilty during a brief arraignment hearing, and was released on $50,000 unsecured bail.

Judge Albert Michael Iacocca ordered Margera to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation, to not contact the alleged victims, and to stay away from his Pocopson Township home. He was also required to get permission from the court before leaving Pennsylvania, records showed.

“Mr. Margera enjoys all of his constitutional rights, including the presumption of innocence,” Margera's attorney, Michael T. van der Veen, said in a statement. “The wild rumors regarding his behavior this week are absolutely false. He is in good health and in good spirits.”

Van der Veen declined to say where Margera had been after fleeing, but said that allegations that his client had been using substances that caused him to hallucinate were "absolutely false." Margera, meanwhile, took to social media, writing on Instagram that Jesse would be "sued for defamation" and evicted from Castle Bam.

Margera appeared at the Chester County Justice Center for a hearing. Judge Magisterial District Judge Albert Michael Iacocca ordered him to remain within the five-county Philadelphia area until the case could be resolved, and to report to a Devon-based rehabilitation center.

Iacocca issued his order after learning that Margera had failed to make regular check-ins with his pretrial officer, and had not submitted a drug and alcohol evaluation. He added that Margera would need to cooperate with random drug and alcohol screenings, and avoid criminal contact with Jesse and Jesse's girlfriend.

Van der Veen, meanwhile, argued that the case was a matter of a "disagreement between two brothers on a Sunday morning”. The family was central to the Jackass franchise for years, and incidents like the one that landed Margera in court were "just the way they live," van der Veen said.

Iacocca warned Marger to abide by the terms of his bail.

"You don't have an excuse for this," the judge said. "This is not a joke. This is not a movie. This is life."

Following an early-morning incident at the Radnor Hotel in Delaware County, Margera was cited for public intoxication and disorderly conduct, a police source told The Inquirer.

Radnor police received a call about an argument between a man and a woman at the hotel at about 3:30 a.m., the source said. When authorities arrived, they allegedly found Margera intoxicated. According to court documents, Margera's blood-alcohol content measured 0.18, and he "admitted to kicking a car windshield so hard it cracked."

Margera was taken to a local police station and cited.

“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.”

Following the Delaware County incident, Chester County Judge Patrick Carmody ordered Margera to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet as part of a new set of bail conditions.

The agreement also stipulated that Margera had to attend weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and comply with outpatient treatment recommendations, the Chester County District Attorney's Office said. Margera was required to wear the ankle monitor for 30 days, and if no alcohol was detected during that time, it could be removed.

As Margera's Chester County assault case continued to face delays and extensions, the charges in connection with the August incident in Radnor were withdrawn.

“Justice prevailed today when charges were withdrawn against Mr. Margera,” said lawyers Michael T. van der Veen and William J. Brennan in a statement. “It’s fulfilling to be able to help him get his life back on track.”

After more than a year in the court system, Margera's case is resolved after he pleads guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct in connection with the alleged assault on his brother.

As part of the plea agreement, Margera faces a six-month probation sentence, as well as fines and random drug testing. In court, Margera called the incident a "wake up call," and credited the legal proceedings with his extended period of sobriety.

Chester County Judge Patrick Carmody agreed with Margera's sentiment, saying in court that the television star's visits to the Chester County Justice Center forced Margera to see other hearings of individuals struggling with addiction. As a result, it "had the consequence" of Margera "not using," Carmody said.

But Carmody, however, offered Margera a stern warning.

"You screw up in the next six months and I'll throw you in jail," he said.
