Bam Margera To Undergo Addiction Evaluation Following Probation Violation

Bam Margera will remain in police custody after his recent arrest on DUI-related charges and probation violation.

The former "Jackass" star is scheduled for an addiction evaluation amid his incarceration, a court-ordered move that is linked to him allegedly driving under the influence on September 16.

Bam Margera was booked for reckless driving, among other charges. His attorney believes he will be out in no time, claiming he has never failed a drug and alcohol screening.

According to new reports, Margera appeared in a Chester County court on Monday to answer his probation violation. He broke the rules last week following his DUI arrest and will remain in custody until his evaluation.

Prosecutors noted that a judge ordered Margera to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation. His wife, Dannii Marie, was in the courtroom to support him, but no other family members reportedly attended the hearing.

Following his addiction evaluation, Margera will return to the Justice Center on Wednesday for a follow-up hearing. The media personality is expected to be released tomorrow or Wednesday, with his lawyer, Michael T. Van Der Veen, telling TMZ:

"Bam has been doing very well and, for the past year or more, has passed all his drug and alcohol screenings. His professional life has been going well, and we look forward to his release so he can continue his growth."

The former professional skateboarder's issues with the law began in 2023 when he was accused of assaulting his brother Jesse and threatening his family. The case intensified with him fleeing from the police.

Margera eventually gave up on running and surrendered himself to the authorities, where he negotiated a plea deal. After pleading guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct, he was sentenced to 6 months Probation in June.

The media personality seemingly stayed out of trouble until September 16, when he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. He also got slapped with reckless driving and other related charges.

Two months before his DUI and probation drama, The Blast reported that Margera had scored a significant win in a legal battle. He and his ex-partner Nicole Boyd had been butting heads in court over the legality of their marriage.

However, a judge ruled in Margera's favor in July, agreeing that his marriage to Boyd was not legal under U.S. law. The legality of their marriage came up during the pair's bitter custody battle for their son, Phoenix.

Boyd claimed their 2013 marriage was legal, while Margera had insisted it wasn't. In his argument, he noted that a ceremony occurred in Iceland; however, it wasn't legalized because they failed to obtain a U.S. marriage license.

Following the judge's ruling, Margera gloated about his win while bashing his ex-partner for making him waste money on legal fees. "Nicole knew that we weren't married since day one; it was common knowledge, and it wasn't new information," he insisted.

"Of course, I won because we were never married, but paying a fistful of dollars for a four-day trial about it and acting like she didn't know is a time-consuming pain up my ass, but I'm used to it," Margera added.

Meanwhile, Boyd was dissatisfied with the judge's ruling and considered appealing the verdict. Her attorney, David Glass, shared in an interview that she believed her marriage in Iceland was valid and shouldn't be disregarded.

Margera had double reasons to celebrate his legal victory asit came two months after his marriage to the model Dannii Marie.

The pair said their vows at the Val Verde Historic Hotel in Socorro County, New Mexico, where they were filming the movie "Collecting Souls." Margera also confirmed the news on Instagram with a passionate statement, writing:

"To all of our friends and family. We've been planning this for a while with the Jim Burlson out here in Socorro, New Mexico, at this rad historical hotel. Danielle Marie MARGERA, it's official."

The TV personality also noted that there would be a November wedding in Pennsylvania for their friends and family. Margera's love for his wife was evident in the videos he shared, with one capturing him crediting Marie for inspiring his sobriety journey.

Given Dannii Marie's presence at his recent hearing, it is safe to say that she will continue supporting Bam Margera in overcoming his addictions.
