WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) Former Jackass star Bam Margera will spend six months on probation after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct 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 home known as Castle Bam.

At a hearing last year, Margera told the judge he was getting drug and alcohol treatment.

Jess Margera, at the same court hearing, called his brother a good dude when hes not messed up but said he had exhibited troubling behavior for two decades and, while home, had been awake for days.
