Bam Margera, known for his appearances on the hit TV show Jackass, has been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold following a series of concerning incidents and disturbing behavior. The star, aged 43, had recently been involved in a bitter custody battle with his estranged wife, Nicole Boyd, over their five-year-old son, Phoenix.
Margera's alarming social media rants caught the attention of LAPD police officers, who tracked his phone and located him at Trejo's Tacos on Sunday. Concerned for his well-being, they called in a psychiatric evaluation team, ultimately leading to Margera being placed on a 5150 hold.
The 5150 hold is an involuntary psychiatric hold that allows for a 72-hour evaluation and treatment period in a mental health facility. The exact details of Margera's current situation and treatment remain unclear.
These developments come after Margera's public outburst where he threatened to "smoke crack until I'm dead" unless he was granted access to see his son. He accused his estranged wife of preventing him from having contact with Phoenix for the past two months, which has contributed to his emotional distress.
Margera's lawyer, Peter W. Thompson, stated that he has not seen his son since March 29 and has been denied communication through phone or FaceTime. Margera's emotional state and social media posts have raised concerns among his family, friends, and fans.
In response to Margera's recent behavior, his wife's lawyer, David Glass, emphasized the importance of sobriety and taking personal responsibility. While expressing hope for Margera's recovery, Glass stressed the need for him to prioritize his own well-being and maintain sobriety for the sake of himself and his son.
The situation surrounding Bam Margera continues to unfold, and it remains to be seen what steps will be taken to address his mental health and ensure the safety of all involved parties.
