Bam Margera, one of the former stars of MTV's Jackass, has been placed on what's called a 5150 psychiatric hold in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
Apparently LAPD officers tracked down Margera on Sunday afternoon using GPS phone tracking, and they ultimately found him at a popular LA eatery, Trejo's Tacos, owned by actor Danny Trejo.
The law enforcement officers spoke with Bam, according to TMZ, and determined that his erratic speech and behavior — along with recent suicidal threats he'd made — deemed it warranted to call in a psychiatric evaluation team, who called for the 5150 psychiatric hold.
If anyone in the LA area knows of bams current whereabouts or a hotel he might be at please call the LAPD immediately. I am trying to get them to ping his phone but as usual it’s a whole huge process and I don’t think we have that kind of time. If you guys could all retweet this…
