Margera, whose real name is Brandon Cole, grew up in West Chester and owns houses in Chester County, one in the borough and a second, known as Castle Bam, in Pocopson Township.
Margera was fired from the movie, “Jackass Forever,” last year after allegedly breaking a “wellness agreement” in his contract that required him to undergo regular drug and alcohol tests and take prescribed medication, TMZ reported.
The warrant was issued in District Court, Kennett Square. He is charged with simple assault, harassment, and making terroristic threats.
