Steve-O, the stuntmeister of the MTV series “Jackass,” was
arrested Monday for vandalism and drug possession after he bashed his neighbor’s
walls.
On Monday Steve-O thought of redecorating and what better
way to start than with his neighbor’s walls at his Hollywood
apartment complex.
According to TMZ.com, Steve-O videotaped himself while doing
it and he can be heard on tape saying: "Everybody want him out?" and
other guys yell “Yeah!”
His neighbor made a citizen arrest and at 5 a.m. Steve-O, whose
full name is Stephen Glover, was arrested, according to Los Angeles Police
Department spokeswoman Ana Aguirre.
Police officers allegedly discovered drugs in his apartment and
found out that the 33-year-old co-star of MTV's prank-filled hadn’t paid his
traffic fine for a recent violation.
He is at the Hollywood Community Police Station, where he
has been held since Monday morning on suspicion of vandalism, possession of a
controlled substance and having an outstanding traffic warrant.
LAPD initially said that the incident started from a dispute
over the fence, but as the video shows the action took place indoors.
Born from an American father and a Canadian mother in England,
Steve-O became famous through TV series Jackass, Wildboyz, and Dr. Steve-O.
The charges from Monday are not the only ones.
Steve-O has had some other altercations with the police.
On July 19, 2003 he was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct
for urinating in public at a Lollapalooza tour concert in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
According to him, he was banned off the tour by the Lollapalooza producers due
to the incident.
Steve-O was again seen urinating in public at the March 5,
2006 Key Club Party for the Oscars. He urinated on the red carpet outside the
strip club and stripped of his clothes.
