Bam Margera is back behind bars after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). The former Jackass star, 44, was stopped by police in Pennsylvania on September 16 and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance and summary reckless driving - and he is set to spend the weekend at the Chester County Prison ahead of a court hearing on Monday to determine whether he has violated his probation. He was taken into custody on Wednesday (18.
09.24) following a meeting with officials who flagged a possible probation violation. The hearing on Monday will decide whether Margera breached the terms of a plea deal he reached with Pennsylvania prosecutors in June in which he pleaded guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct and was sentenced to six months probation.
He also agreed to undergo random drug tests and treatment for his mental health issues. The conviction stemmed from a bust-up with his musician brother Jess Margera at his Castle Bam home in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in April 2023. After entering his guilty plea, Margera told the court: "I just want to says thanks for this whole situation.
It lets me clean up my life. It is a blessing in disguise." As well as the probation hearing on Monday, Margera will also face a pretrial hearing stemming from the DUI case but a date has yet to be set, according to Mainlinemedianews.
