Bam Margera's brother provided an update on the missing "Jackass" star on Wednesday.

Bam Margera's brother, Jess Margera, says that the Jackass star is currently on the run with his girlfriend and her 8-year-old daughter. The news comes after TMZ reported that there is a warrant out for Bam's arrest in Pennsylvania. The outlet says Bam got into an altercation with his family before fleeing into the woods. Jess addressed the situation in a series of posts on Twitter, Wednesday.

"I mean I can talk to my lightbulbs. My car can back out of the garage and pick me up at the front door. Police should be able to track a phone right? Apparently I’m the asshole," he wrote in one post. He later replied to a supportive fan: "I appreciate it man, I’m trying to stay positive. Bam really is the sweetest guy when he isn’t messed up. But since his meth habit, hes unrecognizable & I really don’t know what he’s capable of. Seeing him screaming @ at a person that wasn’t there, hallucinating. It’s really scary & heartbreaking."

He also corrected reports that said he didn't have the kid with him: "His gf has her phone. I’m obviously very worried about bam but I’m extremely worried about that there is an 8 yr old child w them. I can’t even imagine the environment in that car right now. I hope she’s okay she is the sweetest kid, she doesn’t deserve this unnecessary trauma." As for where Bam could be, Jess also shared a picture of a car and said, "We think he is in this car."

This isn't the first time Bam has gone missing. Last year, he disappeared from Lifeskills South Florida rehab center in Deerfield Beach where he had been court-ordered to stay. Bam's issues with alcohol and drug abuse resulted in him being ousted from 2022's Jackass Forever.
