Bam Margara Back In Chesco Court For July 24 Assault Hearing

WEST CHESTER, PA —Brandon “Bam” Margera, former star of MTV’s “Jackass,” faces a hearing Thursday, July 27, on charges of assaulting his brother, Jesse, in the family residence, known as "Castle Bam" Pocopson Township.

Margera, 43, turned himself in to state police at Avondale on April 27, four days after he was on the run on charges of being involved in a physical fight with his brother, Jesse.

He’s been free on $50,000 bail awaiting the preliminary hearing before Judge Albert Iacocca in Kennett Square.

Margera’s lawyer, Michael T. van der Veen of Philadelphia, said Margera is not guilty and will fight the charges.

The attorney described Margera as a “very solid, stable, serious guy.”

Jess Margera told police that his brother banged on his locked bedroom door early on Sunday, April 23, and left a threatening note against his family if Jesse called the police, according to court records.

Margera, a former professional skateboarder and stunt performer, denied that he did anything wrong.

State police said after the fight with his brother, Margera fled into a wooded area.

His brother, Jesse Margera, a drummer in the band CKY, wrote on Instagram: "He is a danger to himself and anyone around him and that is unacceptable."
