    “This is basically a noise violation. He really got nothing more than a traffic ticket,” van der Veen added. captianncreamstain/Instagram

    “[Margera] emerged from the Chester County, Pennsylvania courthouse today free of the misdemeanor charges that had been levied against him due to a family dispute in April 2023,” van der Veen added in his statement.

    “This is basically a noise violation. He really got nothing more than a traffic ticket.”

    Margera’s guilty pleas stemmed from a two-week visit to his family’s Chester County, Penn., home in July 2023.

    While there, he allegedly punched his brother , Jess Margera, and threatened to shoot unidentified family members.

    He was hit with one count of simple assault for the physical altercation, plus one count of harassment and four counts of terroristic threats with the intention to terrorize another.

    However, the terroristic threats charges were dropped during a July 2023 hearing, during which Margera’s brother explained that he did not want his brother getting in trouble.

    He also opened up about how Marie changed his life for the better when announcing their engagement in December 2023.

    “I never had structure before. I always woke up not knowing what to do with the day. I would just look across the street, see an Irish pub and be like, ‘That looks like fun,’” he told Us Weekly.

    “Now I wake up, I walk the dogs, I stretch, I go to the gym, I go skateboarding.”
