Pennsylvania cops launch manhunt for troubled Jackass star Bam Margera after he got into a fight at his $1.1M castle then fled into the woods and vanished
- An arrest warrant has been issued for Jackass star Brandon ‘Bam’ Margera, 43
- Pennsylvania State Police reported that an alleged victim said they got into a physical altercation with the pro-skater and suffered minor injuries
- When police arrived on the scene, Margera had already fled into the woods
A manhunt is underway in Pennsylvania for Jackass star Brandon ‘Bam’ Margera, whom police say assaulted an unnamed victim.
Pennsylvania State Police officials told TMZ troopers responded to a reported disturbance at around 11am Sunday morning near Margera’s $1.1million Pocopson Township castle, where an alleged victim said they got into a physical altercation with the 43-year-old pro-skater and suffered minor injuries as a result.
But when police arrived on the scene, Margera had already fled into a nearby wooded area and has not yet been located.
A warrant is now out for Margera’s arrest, charging him with four misdemeanor counts of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, one count of simple assault and a final court of harassment while subjecting another to physical contact.
The charges come just weeks after Margera was arrested in California for a public intoxication after he got into a shouting match with an unidentified woman at a Thai restaurant in Burbank.

In video of that confrontation filmed by the comedian Evan Breen, the former pro skateboarder could be seen going back into the restaurant and then out of it again after police had arrived.
At an officer’s request, Margera sat down on the ground in the parking lot, and although his conversation with the officer couldn’t be heard, he could be seen waving his arms about and gesticulated wildly.
The arrest may have been preceded by some kind of family drama, as Margera’s estranged wife Nikki Boyd and their five-year-old child Phoenix were both in the restaurant, according to a witness on the scene.
However, police didn’t clarify if he was arguing with his ex, or if it was another woman.
The sources added that Margera would be forced to pay $500 to be released early on bail, unless he opts to stay behind bars until sobering up.
Earlier that month, Margera was also arrested on domestic violence charges after police in California responded to his home in Escondido, where a woman claimed he kicked her. It is unclear whether the woman in the assault is the same victim in the most recent case.
