Jackass star Bam Margera found and taken back to rehab after going missing

Jackass star Bam Margera has reportedly been escorted back to the Florida rehab facility he “fled” from earlier this week.

The 43-year-old was found at a hotel in Delray Beach and was picked up by the police and a crisis intervention team on Wednesday, according to TMZ.

The skateboarder is said to have returned voluntarily.

The manager of the rehab facility said that Bam is there under a court order, which is why police were looking for him.

It is claimed in a Delray Beach police report that he went missing on Monday. Insiders told TMZ that Bam is unlikely to have relapsed.

According to the outlet, the stunt performer told the centre manager that he was unhappy with the facilities and would be checking into rehab elsewhere, before leaving in a black vehicle.

Bam is said to have been unhappy that he was not receiving special treatment as a celebrity, as he had in other facilities.

He completed a one-year inpatient rehab program back in May.

Bam is best known for Jackass

Despite leaving the facility, Bam was active on his social media and shared a picture to his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

The snap, taken several years ago, saw him stand alongside his wife Nicole and Machine Gun Kelly.

Bam has a long history of substance abuse issues .

He had to check into a hospital in 2019 to treat an edema apparently caused by excessive drinking.

Bam recently claimed that he was fired from Jackass 4 for not abiding by conditions relating to his addiction issues, which were set by producers.
