According to CBS News, Bam Margera was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police in Fulton County on Sept. 16 and was charged with a misdemeanor for driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.
TMZ also reported that the former stuntman appeared in a Chester County courtroom on Monday, Sept. 23 for violating his probation.
His wife, Dannii, whom he married earlier this year, was reportedly in attendance. However, no other family members were present.
Speaking about the arrest, Bam Margera’s attorney Michael T. Van Der Veen stated that the Jackass alum is still incarcerated. He has been ordered to receive an addiction evaluation before returning to the Justice Center later this week for a follow-up courtroom appearance.
Margera is expected to be released either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
“Bam has been doing very well and for the past year or more has passed all his drug and alcohol screenings,” Van Der Veen explained. “His professional life has been going well and we look forward to his release so he can continue his growth.”

The Instagram user continued to slam Margera by writing, “Until he has real consequences that fame and money cannot buy his way out of.. this pattern will continue. He is an addict because he is uncomfortable being a responsible adult. He doesnt how to act anyway but 12 years old. It’s quite sad.”

Another Instagram user declared, “The definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results!”
