Bam Margera has been located following a manhunt to find the Jackass star who fled from a rehab facility in Florida.
Margera, 42 was reported missing on Monday (13 June) after he allegedly checked himself out of the rehab facility. The former Jackass star, who was attending the facility under a court order, was not authorised to leave but it was reported by TMZ that he made the impulsive decision to leave after complaining about restrictions.
Police were alerted that Margera had checked himself out of the facility on Monday, leaving in a black Honda.

Sources have now confirmed to TMZ that Margera was located at a hotel in Delrey Beach, Florida, by cops and a crisis intervention team who escorted him back to the rehab centre.
He was found safe and well and was not considered to be a risk to himself or others.
So much so, on Tuesday (14 June), he posted a photo on Instagram fist bumping his new 'Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor', writing: "'MMA fighter, chiropractor and 10 years sober Dominick, is my new AA sponsor #f-kYeah."
He also added a post to his Instagram story with his wife, Nicole Boyd, and rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who was performing in Florida on Tuesday night.

Margera has recently completed one year in the drug and alcohol treatment program, but is not believed to have relapsed. However, there are now concerns about the star being off his medications since leaving the facility.
It was reported that his decision to flee the facility stems from frustration surrounding the treatment he was receiving and had told the manager he would be checking himself into a different facility.
The Pennsylvania-born star has a long history battling with substance abuse, with the pro-skateboarder having checked into a hospital in 2019 to treat an edema - apparently caused by excessive drinking.
Most recently, Margera was kicked off the latest Jackass project for failing to abide by conditions set by producers who were reportedly worried about his addiction.
It was reported that producers required Margera to sign a Wellness Agreement in order to remain on the show. Under the agreement, he was required to continue medication, regularly take a breathlayser, stay sober, see a psychologist and take routine drug tests.

The star is now reportedly being taken back to the rehab facility and is said to have gone voluntarily.
