On Monday, Pennsylvania State Police announced that Bam Margera, known for his appearances in the show “Jackass,” was facing criminal charges after allegedly punching his brother during a fight at their home in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
Police issued an arrest warrant for the 43-year-old and are currently searching for him.
According to court documents, state police were called to the Margera’s Chester County mansion in response to a domestic disturbance report on Sunday morning.
Bam Margera’s brother, Jesse Margera, informed police that Bam had violently pounded and kicked his locked bedroom door early that morning. Later on, during a confrontation in the kitchen, Bam allegedly punched Jesse in the eye, nose, and ear.
Bam is said to have last been seen fleeing into the nearby woods.
“We all love him so much, and we just want to help him, and we are not against him,” Bam’s mom, April Margera, told Fox News. “We just want to try to get him help. He just needs to settle down and get it straight, and I think it’s just hard for him to do without being on his medication and trying to wrangle him.”
“We just want him to get better,” she continued. “I mean, the things that he’s doing are not criminal in his mind. He just thinks he’s running away from his troubles. I truly, truly don’t know where he would go at this point. We don’t have any idea where he is. I don’t believe that he’s in the West Chester area. I mean, I don’t see him hanging around.”
Jesse also claimed to have found a threatening handwritten note signed “Bam.”
