Steve-O Under Medical Watch, Charged With Cocaine Possession

Jackass star Steve-O was charged with felony cocaine possession, and was hospitalized for the second time this week, at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, TMZ reports.

The drug charge stems from an incident on March 3 when Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Glover, hit the door of one of his neighbors in his Hollywood apartment building.

The tenant, whose name has not been released by police, complained that Steve-O banged on his door with a piece of metal. The 33-year-old star and a group of friends stood outside the person’s door. When Steve-O asked “Everybody want him out?!” the group enthusiastically answered “Yeah!”

Glover was arrested on suspicion of vandalism and drug possession, after officers found a small amount of drugs on him.

An insider told Star Magazine that Steve-O was hospitalized Sunday at the Thalians Mental Health Center, specialized in crisis intervention, where he was put on 72-hour-hold, which has been extended to 14 days.

“Steve is stabilized on meds at this point,” the source told Star. “He was also treated for burns on his skin as if he had been putting cigarettes out on his own body.”

A family member told Star that Steve-O suffers from bipolar disorder. During the weekend Steve-O allegedly sent suicide e-mails to friends.

A source close to the stuntman told E! News that “He is not suicidal,” adding that any reports suggesting Steve-O is on suicide watch are “totally false.”

His arraignment was initially scheduled for Thursday, but given the circumstances, the arraignment was postponed until March 26.
