Former "Jackass” star Brandon "Bam" Margera – wanted by police after allegedly punching his brother at his Philadelphia home – turned himself in to authorities Thursday after a warrant was issued for his arrest, officials said.
The 43-year-old former entertainer and skateboarder surrendered to Pennsylvania State Police in Avondale, a small town about 45 minutes west of Philadelphia near the Delaware border.
Margera, who publicly denied hitting his brother in the alleged Sunday attack, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty, according to his lawyer, Michael van der Veen.
“The wild rumors regarding his behavior this week are absolutely false. He is in good health and in good spirits,” van der Veen said in a written statement released to The Associated Press.

Troopers said Margera was released on $50,000 bond and is due back in court May 25 for a preliminary hearing on the charges.
After his arraignment, the AP reported a post on Margera's Instagram account said: “Everything went great and the false accusations of what my brother says are not true and he will be sued for defamation as well as being evicted from castle bam sooner than later.”
Troopers said they were called to the Chester County home in response to a reported domestic disturbance shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday.
