According to reports, the Pennsylvania State Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of former MTV star Bam Margera. A cultural icon in the world of skateboarding, Margera rose to prominence by producing an underground film series centered around skateboarding called CKY. The success of the show landed him on the radar of the executive producers of MTV during the network's heyday in the early 2000s. From there, Margera went on to star in two beloved shows called "Jackass" and "Viva La Bam." At the time, one of the most entertaining and somewhat disturbing aspects of these programs was how Margera interacted with his family members, such as his parents Phil and April and his Uncle Vito. Oftentimes, the show's skits would depict a young Margera getting physical with his dad. In the decades that followed, Margera's star began to fade, his best friend/former co-star on Jackass (Ryan Dunn) passed away as he began to succumb to drug and alcohol abuse.
Unfortunately for Margera, his inner demons have continued to manifest. On Sunday morning, the 43-year-old reportedly kicked down the bedroom door of his older brother, Jess, before hitting him in the head, urinating in his kitchen sink, and “threatening to kill everyone in the house, including their father and two other people.” The cops arrived on the scene shortly after the incident, but by that time, Margera had taken off running into the woods. He has been on the run ever since. When asked about the sad occurrence, Bam's mother, April, said, “We all love him so much.”
