The PSP confirmed a warrant has been issued for his arrest for four counts of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, harassment while subjecting another to physical contact, and simple assault, TMZ reported.
Bam Margera starred in MTV’s “Jack-ss” and “Viva La Bam,” KUSA reported.
He has struggled with substance abuse and addiction issues for many years, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The former MTV star was arrested twice in March – once for suspicion of domestic violence and once for public intoxication, according to the news outlet.
His former “Jack-ss” costars fired him from their latest movie, “Jack-ss Forever,” which resulted in him suing them in August of 2021, Entertainment Weekly reported.
Bam Margera reached a private settlement with Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the “Jack-ass” team and ultimately dropped the lawsuit in 2022.
