Jackass Star Steve-O Arrested in Canada for Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Poor Steve-O. I guess it’s true what they say – once a jackass always a jackass.

Seems Steve, real name Stephen Gilchrist Glover, was arrested while trying to enter Canada yesterday for assault with a deadly weapon. But there is a twist.

The assault happened way back in 2003, eight years ago, when the star was heavily abusing drugs and alcohol and assaulted an unknown person with an unknown deadly weapon while in Canada.

By the time the police investigation was done Steve had already left the country.

Yesterday, while going through customs at Calgary International Airport authorities noticed the 2003 arrest warrant and took him into custody.

No sweat. Steve-O bailed himself out using ten thousand dollars in CASH that he happened to be carrying. Now he has to return in May to face the judge.

What a jackass. Maybe Charlie Sheen can take Steve-O on the road as his winning warlock tiger blood warm up act. It seems the two would get along just fine.

This is true - Steve graduated from Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in 1997 but was never accepted for any clown gigs so he returned home and started doing Jackass type videos and sending them to skateboard companies trying to get work.

Somehow he ended up on television. How did that all work out?

As of today, Steve has no television, movie, commercial, radio, or book projects scheduled and appears to be, well… an unemployed clown.
