Jackass star Steve-O was arrested Sunday after scaling a crane at a Hollywood construction site in a protest against SeaWorld, police said. Emergency responders, including several fire crews and ambulances, were called to the scene after Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Glover, began streaming video of himself climbing the crane on Facebook. The stunt performer reportedly inflated a large killer whale balloon with an animal-welfare message about SeaWorld and set off fireworks from the tip of the crane. Steve-O then posted on Facebook, “Anyone wanna bail me out of jail?” He climbed down just before 9 p.m. and was taken into custody. Authorities said he could face several charges, including conspiracy to commit a crime, trespassing, and setting off explosives without a permit.
Did I mention that I'm really high in the air? Hearing sirens now. Check the video I posted at 7pm to see what I'm doing. I'll stream live again soon for the stunts.
