Has Bam Margera Been Arrested?
On March 29, 2023, Bam was arrested after allegedly causing a scene at a restaurant where his estranged wife, Nicole Boyd, and their son, Phoenix, were eating in Burbank, California.
According to legal documents viewed by In Touch, Bam “arrived intoxicated” at the eatery when meeting Nicole to see his son and “was subsequently arrested for [being] drunk in public.” He was later released the same day on $250 bail.
It is not currently clear if the woman Bam was yelling at was Nicole, who he married in 2013. Nicole filed for a legal separation from Bam in February 2023.
The public intoxication arrest is not the first time Bam has had trouble with the law.

Bam was released on his own recognizance.
Is Bam Margera in a Guardianship?
Investigation Discovery’s The Curious Case of … Bam Margera, which was released on January 13, 2025, explored Bam’s one-year temporary guardianship, which was led by tech entrepreneur Lima Jevremovic. Lima, who was described in the docuseries episode as a “Hollywood entrepreneur who was working in the addiction and recovery industry,” founded the company Aura, which used virtual reality technology to treat patients with addiction.
Lima acted as Bam’s guardian from June 2021 to July 2023. During that time, she placed the former stunt performer in a rehab center, where he was treated with Aura’s tech. However, he left the treatment facility in 2022 and subsequently faced more legal issues. He also appeared to be using drugs again, which raised questions about the effectiveness of his treatment from Aura and his guardianship.
YouTuber and lawyer BJ Courville advocated for Bam’s freedom from the guardianship and spoke out against Lima. She cited the case of Amanda Rabb, a patient who was treated with Aura technology and later died.
In The Curious Case, BJ said she saw Lima read Amanda’s autopsy report in a video and claim that the woman’s cause of death was a seizure disorder, which she had never struggled with prior to her addiction battle and treatment. BJ claimed that she requested the autopsy report and did not see a seizure disorder mentioned, with Amanda’s cause of death allegedly listed as “cardiac arrhythmia.”
Aura has since ceased operations. Lima also filed a libel lawsuit against BJ, which is still pending.
Bam addressed the docuseries in an Instagram video on January 14, 2025, saying he was “glad” to see someone “finally do the research to expose Lima and her f–king nutty behavior.”
