Arrest warrant issued for former Jackass star Bam Margera in Pennsylvania

The erstwhile MTV star reportedly fled into the woods following an alleged physical confrontation, and is facing assault charges.

Bam Margera is in hot water again. Pennsylvania State Police are looking for the 43-year-old former Jackass star following an alleged physical altercation, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

According to authorities, state troopers responded to reports of a disturbance in Pocopson Township on Sunday. They said Margera had been involved in a physical confrontation with someone who suffered minor injuries, but he fled into "a wooded area" prior to their arrival and has not been located yet.

Margera is facing one charge of simple assault, one charge of harassment, and four charges of terroristic threats "with intention to terrorize another."

The erstwhile MTV star was previously arrested in March on suspicion of domestic violence in San Diego. He doesn't appear to have been charged with anything from that incident, but was arrested again in Burbank, Calif., later that month for public intoxication.

Margera sued his former Jackass costars in August 2021 for firing him from the production of Jackass Forever, but dropped the lawsuit last year after reaching a private settlement. He has struggled with addiction and substance abuse for years.

Representatives for Margera didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment.
