Hospitalized Steve-O Jacked with Coke Charge
For his next stunt, Steve-O is going to wind down, cool off and rest up.
A source close to the British-born Jackass star confirms to E! News that he is currently hospitalized at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and expects to be there for the next few days, as a result of his "reckless lifestyle."
"He is not suicidal," the source insisted, adding that any reports suggesting Steve-O is on suicide watch are "totally false."
And in case he was having second thoughts about partaking in some supervised R&R, the L.A. District Attorney's Office has offered up another reason why it might be a good time to change his ways.
Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Glover, was charged Thursday with felony cocaine possession stemming from his March 3 bust following a run-in with a fellow tenant in his Hollywood apartment building.
Although the unidentified neighbor enlisted the cops to complain about Steve-O banging on his door with a piece of metal—all of which the oft-shirtless daredevil handily videotaped—officers also allegedly found coke at his residence when they responded to the call.
The 33-year-old was arrested on suspicion of vandalism and drug possession and taken into custody at the nearby Hollywood Community Police Station.
Steve-O cooled off behind bars until the following afternoon, when his lawyer told awaiting paparazzi he couldn't comment on the specifics of the case at that time. Meanwhile, his client bragged about swiping some jail-issue sheets, although it turned out guards let him have the bedding because he wasn't wearing a shirt when he was booked.
As evidenced by a series of tapes posted on his website, Steve-O apparently has a serious beef with his neighbor. On the morning of his arrest, he and a group of like-minded pals crowded in the hallway outside the person's door. The posse enthusiastically shouted, "Yeah!" when Steve-O asked, "Everybody want him out?!"
He then proceeded to beat on the door with a metal rod of some sort, and he's also said to have poked holes in the wall between their respective apartments.
