TMZ broke the news again, explaining that it's the second time that the 'Jackass' star has fled his court-ordered rehabilitation center. Broward County detectives are actively looking for him and have requested people to share information regarding the same. Sources close to the publication reveal that Bam left the facility party due to his split from his wife, Nicole Boyd. They both share a son, Phoenix Wolf. It was previously reported that Bam and Nikki broke up a couple of weeks ago and she hasn't been returning his calls, which has led to Bam not being able to contact his son. Last year, Nikki had filed documents in Los Angeles, seeking full custody of their son, with supervised visitation from Bam. "Due to the separation, Bam was staying at a sober living home when he made his unauthorized exit from rehab," stated Nikki in her documents.

Bam was sent to rehab for causing a disturbance at the Don CeSar Resort Hotel in St Pete Beach, Florida, last year. While the exact nature of this disturbance was never revealed, the sheriff’s department spokesperson said, "They received a call that something was going wrong there. When deputies arrived, they were informed that Mr Margera had an ex parte order, which is a judge’s order for court-ordered rehabilitation. Those are taken out by a third party on behalf of the person.”
