DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — Pro skateboarder and reality star Bam Margera was found safe in Florida after he drove away from a rehab center in the state earlier this week, according to several reports.

According to WPTV, Margera was found safe in Delray Beach. A police spokesman did not say exactly when or where he was found, according to the report.

TMZ reported that Margera was found at a hotel nearby on Wednesday. That report said he was taken back to the rehab facility by police voluntarily.
