I just had to put that headline on this one. Apparently every time Steve-O gets arrested, what he did wrong somehow involves public urination. Maybe our tattooed little man is finally growing up, and turning to grownup crime. *sniff*
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.
See, now this a good rule of thumb. If you live in an apartment complex, and you want to chase your neighbor away by knocking down his walls, make sure there aren’t any drugs in your own apartment.
Lesson learned, Steve-O, and thanks for doing the incredibly stupid stuff, so other ‘tards might learn from your mistakes.
Of course, this entire situation could be completely staged, since his neighbor made a citizen’s arrest, others were in on it, it was being videotaped, and he was allegedly still in jail almost two days after his arrest (what, a guy with that kind of money can’t make bail on a charge of that nature? I find that hard to believe). His Jackass castmate Bam Margera tore his parents’ house completely apart on a regular basis for the show, and never really got in trouble for it. In fact, most of what Bam did on Jackass involved terrorizing his parents in one way or another. Maybe if Bam’s parents had been the grownups and set a good example, our little Steve-O wouldn’t be in jail right now.
Steve-O’s latest project, “Dr. Steve-O”, seems to have disappeared after only a few episodes (it was on Monday nights on USA, following WWE Monday Night Raw). That show was what Jackass would have been like, if it were filled with lame people and lame stunts. Basically, nerds, geeks, and other social misfits of the male persuasion would send a video to Steve-O, telling him how he can help them man up. He would show up at their house, kidnap them, and make them do dumb stunts in exchange for a piece of paper which Steve-O would staple onto their body.
Yet somebody, somewhere, thought that was a good idea for a television show. LOL
The last I heard about Steve-O, he was claiming that Lindsay Lohan had stolen his cocaine. I guess that didn’t get him as much publicity as he had hoped, so Steve-O needed to do something to make himself look good to the fans, and what better to look good than to pull a Jackass-style stunt involving destruction of property, and get arrested for it?

whoever wrote this is an idiot. Steve-O has been TRYING to get arrested for the longest time. He know’s he needs help with his drug addiction and tries. He has shown weed to the police and done whatever he can to get arrested.
You don’t get help for an addiction by showing pot to the police and laughing about it. That’s simply flaunting celebrity status (probably while stoned to boot), and not a cry for help. You get help for an addiction by checking yourself into rehab and committing to work the program, and unlike most addicts, that option was always well within Steve-O’s reach given his financial success. So, I’m not buying your explanation of his behavior.
I do however hear he’s sober now, and kudos to him if that’s true.
Where do you come up with this stuff. Was Dr. Steve-O on during the writers strike? If so that would explain the show.
I think it is time for the dude to grow up he is after all over 30.
LOL, I just have a lot of very unusual RSS feeds.
“Dr. Steve-O” was on late last year, if I recall correctly. I didn’t even think about a possible connection to the writer’s strike, so you may very well be right about that.
I agree, it’s way past time for him to grow up. Even Bam got married, and who knows what Johnny Knoxville is doing these days but at least he’s not in the news in a negative way. It seems that the only Jackass stuntman who never grew up at all is Steve-O.
When Bam’s uncle “Don Vito” was convicted of fondling preteen girls who asked for his autograph at a shopping mall, his defense was that he was “in character”, though I don’t recall anything about Don Vito’s character which would have called for molesting little girls.
The judge (among other things) ordered him to not again assume the “Don Vito” character.
Perhaps it’s time for a judge to order Steve-O to stop acting like … Steve-O.
You sure come up with some interesting stuff. My post for today isn’t quite as interesting: Brett Favre’s retirement. Of course. Favre is a much better role model, adult, person etc than Steve-O. I think I vaguely remember Dr. Steve-O. I maybe from the MTV generation but I guess I too have grown up & don’t find stuff like that entertaining. Or maybe it comes from dealing with middle school & high school boys who try the stuff they see on Jack-Ass. When compiling the post about Things My student’s had done I didn’t include any of the really dangerous stuff.
Favre is definitely a much better role model, and a much better person, than Steve-O will ever be. There’s no doubt about that whatsoever.
As for dealing with teenage boys day in and day out, you definitely have my condolences. I only raised one, and that was almost more than I could handle. I taught junior high school (college prep English) for one semester years ago, while I was in grad school. That was enough to let me know that teaching was not for me. I just don’t have the patience to do that, and deal with the misbehavior, so I admire you a great deal for having done so successfully.
That is probably why I find my job in a bookstore less stressful even during the holidays.
You may find today’s post interesting.
Steve-O is from my area and a lot of the early jokes and stunts he did in the shows and the movie are in our area. He was in constant trouble with the police and was finally told one more stupid stunt in the area business’ parking lots and they would put him in jail. I wonder how many times he’s been sued by parents of kids that got hurt imitating him…?
Hi, Dee – I’ll go check it out right now.
Charlene!!! Everybody, Charlene is one of my bestest friends in the world.
It’s about time you made it over here.
Is it just my imagination, or did Steve-O used to have really bad teeth? It seems like one day out of the blue, he had a beautiful set of chompers. If so, I guess at least some of his money went to good use.
I bet people have wanted to sue Steve-O, even if they haven’t. Elf and his friends, back when they were kids, kept wanting to recreate Jackass stunts. For a while there, we moms in the neighborhood had to keep a really close watch on them, to make sure they didn’t actually go through with any of it.
Actually, even today Elf is the type who might try a Jackass stunt, so I probably should still keep a pretty close eye on him even though he’s grown.
Anyone else ever wonder how males actually can survive to the age of 18?
I <3 Steve O
the same way women call this news!
You know what I think Steve-O is a great man and artist stunts are his art and he deserves the right to perfect his art… You guys point a finger at how immature he his, but look who is talking, stop pointing fingers.You are no better, the difference is that you aren’t a famous stunt man…
Miranda,what exactly has Steve-O done to earn the title “great man”? Has he cured disease? Invented something useful? Solved world hunger? Ended poverty?
I’d really like to know, because as far as I can tell, he makes a living by being a coked-up jackass; and in my opinion, that makes him a …. well, a coked-up jackass. LOL

ENM,
You really need to add some sort of idiot test with the comment sections. You kind of like captcha is with spam. Maybe some sort of question that any intelligent being could answer but the idiots would get rejected.
Dee
Hiya, Dee! Boy, do I wish they had something like that. I’d definitely use it.
The ridulous thing that none of you probably understand what is happening is….well…steve-o is clean. and from previous experience of leading a crazy lifestyle, and being clean for three years, i will say, that it is some of the greatest and most intelligent minds that become on drugs and such. steve-o is now working hard, and studying life and his mind as well as the world, and has made me proud. he has the intelligence and mind frame of a genious, he just had to get rid of the drugs to find it. The sad thing is…most celebs and such use the same drugs that he used, only he was upfront about it…one thing i have to say, dont do it if your ashamed of it, he wasnt hiding as the rest of the celebs were, so focus on them, people who doesnt realize the meaning of life. steve-o is now helping children and such, as well as teaching them to stay off drugs…and brett farve? a good role model?…lmao! you obviously don’t know his family life..haha…it’s okay, but know it before you speak, because i know his family well, an d consider some of them as my own.
OMG COKEEEEEEEEE DUDEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUU SHOULDDDDDDD TRYYYYYY IITTT
