Police arrested Bam Margera for alleged public intoxication on Aug. 9 after an incident at the Main Line’s Radnor Hotel.
Margera reportedly attempted to check into a room at 3:15 a.m., but Radnor Hotel’s general manager, Louis Prevost, advised him that it was too late, according to NBC 10 Philadelphia. Prevost cited a policy that states only those who have already checked in are free to roam the premises after 1 a.m. He said Margera was disgruntled, but left without incident. It remains unclear who contacted the police, but they arrived on-scene and Margera was taken into custody shortly thereafter.
