Bam Margera sentenced after pleading guilty to disturbing public order

Bam Margera was sentenced to six months of probation after pleading guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct.

The “Jackass” star will be subject to random drug testing during his probation after being accused of assaulting his musician brother Jess Margera and threatening other family members at his home in Castle Bam, Chester County, Pennsylvania, in April 2023.

The 44-year-old star accepted a plea deal on Wednesday (25.06.24), just as his trial was due to begin.

Speaking afterwards, Bam – who will celebrate his first year of sobriety in August – told ABC 6's Action News: “I needed that to realize that I would continue to drink and find myself in situations that were really not good.

“Now that I've done all this time, I don't want to go back to that lifestyle.

Bam's mother, April Margera, who attended the hearing Wednesday, admitted that her son had “gone through a lot in his life.”

She said: “He's doing really well and we want him to move on and get this over with, we really do. But we all love him and we just want him to do well.”

“He's been through a lot in his life, he's had a lot of access and power and it's hard to come down from that.”

If Bam tests positive for drugs in a random test, he could be sent to prison.

In April 2023, Bam initially pleaded not guilty to an assault charge after turning himself in to police in Pennsylvania, after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Bam was released on $50,000 bail and the judge ordered him to stay away from his brother Jess and undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation.
