Bam Margera is behind bars. After an arrest warrant was issued for the troubled Jackass alum, Bam, 43, surrendered to the authorities on Apr. 27, days after police in Pennsylvania issued an arrest for him over an alleged physical altercation. TMZ reports that Bam was “preliminarily arraigned and his bail was set at $50,000. He’s due back in court at the end of May.” According to the publication, Bam was ordered to complete a drug and alcohol assessment. He’s also ordered to stay away from his brother, Jess Margera, who Bam allegedly had an altercation with.
Bam reportedly shared a message, per TMZ: “I just got out of the courthouse with my lawyers. Everything went great, and the false accusations of what my brother says are not true and he will be sued for defamation as well as being evicted from castle bam sooner than later. The reason I lost my cool is because I read his phone saying he wants me back in California and he wants to find a way to 302 me. F*** him”

Mr. Margera enjoys all of his constitutional rights, including the presumption of innocence. The wild rumors regarding his behavior this week are absolutely false. He is in good health and in good spirits.”
