ORIGINAL STORY: Where’s Bam Margera?
Cops are looking for him in Florida after the “Jackass” star left a rehab facility Monday, TMZ first reported.
The Delray Beach Police Department says the facility’s manager noted that Margera did not like the service he was receiving and planned to go to a different center for treatment. The Pennsylvania native drove away in a black sedan, authorities told the outlet.
Last fall, the prankster was taken to a center in the Sunshine State following an alleged disturbance at the Don CeSar Resort Hotel in St. Petersburg Beach. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were informed that Margera had court-ordered rehabilitation taken out by a third party on his behalf.
A few months before that, the troubled reality star had been fired from the latest “Jackass” movie due to non-compliance with his contract. Terms reportedly included taking random drug tests, staying on his medication, proving his sobriety with a breathalyzer and checking in with a therapist.
Mergara doesn’t seem to have checked in anywhere else, as he told the center. But the 42-year-old does seem to be on the right track, wherever he is.
On Instagram, the pro skateboarder posed with his new Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, “MMA fighter, chiropractor and 10 years’ sober Dominick.”
The location on the post just said “Florida.”
Sources close to Margera told TMZ he bolted from the facility because he was unhappy with how they treated him after he ended up in the ER for a broken wrist and other injuries he sustained while skateboarding during a break.
