Steve-O Jail Stint: ‘Jackass’ Star Will Go To Jail For His Anti-SeaWorld Stunt
Jackass stunt actor, Steve-O, legally known as Stephen Glover, was sentenced to serve 30 days in Los Angeles city jail for his anti-SeaWorld stunt back in August. Steve-O fans will recall, the stuntman climbed a construction crane in southern California and set off fireworks to air out his disapproval over the aquatic theme park's keeping of orcas. He eventually pled "no contest" to charges related for the incident, including trespassing and illegal use of fireworks .
For humor's sake, the actor posted a cartoon on Instagram of himself in an orange inmate clothes and an orca inside a neighboring jail cell.
Glover captioned the above images with the explanation that "I've become a clean and sober, dog-rescuing vegan, I must say I'm ready to go to jail - not just because it will bring so much attention to the plight of orcas in captivity but because it's nice to let people know I haven't lost my edge."
Firemen reportedly covered the ground surrounding the construction crane with air cushions to break Steve-O's fatal fall. The actor, subsequently, however, opted to climb down from the construction site instead at the time.
Asside from his jail time, The Washington Times reports that the actor was ordered to probation of three years on top of an order to repay the city a $14,000 fee to offset the incident's accompanying police and fire rescue dispatches. He's scheduled to begin serving his time on Decemeber 9.
