Former 'Jackass' star Bam Margera will spend six months on probation after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct on Wednesday over an altercation at his home near Philadelphia.
Margera, 44, had been charged with assaulting his brother and making threats to other family members during what the brother called a 'frightening and unpredictable' two-week visit home last year.
The plea ends a long legal case that spun out of his stay at the Chester County, Pennsylvania, home known as Castle Bam. At a hearing last year, Margera told the judge he was getting drug and alcohol treatment and was living with former Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom.
Jess Margera, at the same court hearing, called his brother 'a good dude when he´s not messed up', but said he had exhibited troubling behavior for two decades and, while home, had been awake for days. Jess Margera suffered a ruptured eardrum in the altercation, while Margera´s girlfriend called police when he kicked in her bedroom door, the brother testified.
Defense lawyer William J. Brennan said Margera pleaded guilty to two summary offenses, and is now clean, sober and productive a year after the arrest.

'You can really say he won his case before today just by turning his life around,' Brennan on Wednesday told the Associated Press.
The Chester County District Attorney's Office told TMZ that Margera will spend six months on probation - with three months for each count - and will be subject to random drug testing.
Margera took the plea deal because of his busy schedule and his desire to avoid paying legal fees and returning to court, his legal team told TMZ.
'This is basically a noise violation. He really got nothing more than a traffic ticket,' his attorney Michael T. van der Veen added.
Margera got married last month to Dannii Marie in Socorro County, New Mexico.

He's currently in a legal dispute with his his second wife Nicole 'Nikki' Boyd over the legitimacy of their 2013 wedding because the ceremony was held in Iceland.
Margera and Boyd have six-year-old son Phoenix Wolf together.
Boyd and Margera split up in 2021, and in September of that year, Boyd went to court to request full custody of their son.
The former Jackass star was previously married Missy Rothenstein from 2007 to 2012.
