Bam Margera's Assault Hearing In Chesco Court Delayed Until July

POCOPSON, PA —Brandon “Bam” Margera, former star of MTV’s “Jackass,” was delayed until July 27 on charges of assaulting his brother, Jesse, in the family residence, known as "Castle Bam" Pocopson Township.

The preliminary hearing scheduled today before Judge Albert Iacocca in Kennett Square has been rescheduled in the Chester County Justice Center.

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.

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.

Jesse Margera, a drummer in the band CKY, wrote on Twitter that Bam is the "sweetest guy when he isn't messed up."

Margera, a former professional skateboarder and stunt performer, denied doing anything wrong.

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

Magera said he went with his lawyers to urgent care, where he tested negative for drugs.

The former MTV star of "Jackass" said he would get his brother removed from CastleBam, which Bam owns.

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.” Van der Veen represented former president Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial in the United States Senate, which resulted in an acquittal on Feb. 13, 2021.
