Bam Margera Seeks Help After Jail Release For Probation Violation

Bam Margera is finally free and ready to continue his sobriety journey.

The "Jackass" star will check himself into rehab following his stint in police custody. He was arrested for violating his probation last week and was ordered to undergo an addiction evaluation.

Bam Margera is no stranger to ending up on the wrong side of the law, as he made waves in 2023 for allegedly assaulting his brother. His most recent arrest occurred on September 16 for reckless driving, among other related charges.

Margera's attorney, Michael T. van der Veen, confirmed he had regained his freedom on Wednesday following a court victory. He claimed the former professional skateboarder was on the right track to reclaiming his career and life with his wife, Dannii Marie.

The TV personality shall undergo a short-term program at the Recovery Centers of America for Inpatient Treatment. Sources noted he would head there directly after his release as part of the process toclose his case.

Margera's probation violation case would be closed once he completed his treatment. However, TMZ shared that a bench warrant would be issued if any noncompliance with his treatment was reported to the court.

Before his release from jail, The Blast reported that Margera would remain in police custody until he underwent an addiction evaluation. The order was given on Monday when he appeared in a Chester County court to answer his probation violation.

Margera's wife, Marie, was in the courtroom to support him, but no other family members reportedly attended the hearing. After undergoing the drug and alcohol evaluation, his attorney noted he would appear in court on Wednesday for a follow-up hearing.

"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," Margera's attorney said.

Margera's probation drama began in 2023 when he was accused of assaulting his brother Jesse and threatening his family. The situation worsened with the TV personality fleeing from the law but he eventually surrendered.

The former stunt performer negotiated a plea deal, where he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to 6 months probation in June. Margera seemingly stayed out of trouble until his most recent arrest.

He was taken into custody on September 16 and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. Margera also got slapped with reckless driving and other related charges.

Two months before his release from jail, The Blast reported that Margera had won his case against his former partner, Nicole Boyd. The exes had been fighting in court over the validity of their marriage and custody of their son, Phoenix.

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

A judge ruled in Margera's favor in July, noting that his first marriage wasn't legal under U.S. law. Following the verdict, the TV personality celebrated his win while slamming his ex in a statement.

"Nicole knew that we weren't married since day one; it was common knowledge, and it wasn't new information. Of course, I won because we were never married," Margera said, adding:

"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."

Apart from closing his chapter with Boyd, Margera also pushed for the invalidity of his first marriage to cement his vows to his current wife, Marie. The pair tied the knot at the Val Verde Historic Hotel in Socorro County, New Mexico.

Margera confirmed the big news on Instagram with a touching 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," Margera continued, noting there would be a November wedding ceremony in Pennsylvania for their friends and family. He also raved about his love for Marie, crediting her for inspiring his sobriety journey.

Will Bam Margera continue to enjoy a blossoming relationship with his wife after his rehabilitation, or are there challenges in store for the couple?
