‘Jackass’ actor and stuntman Steve-O was arrested in Canada over the weekend, but the incident that led to the arrest occured 8 years ago!

When Steve-O arrived at the Calgary International Airport on Sunday, he was stopped by customs after officials noticed he had an outstanding warrant out for his arrest.

Steve-O, whose real name is Steve Glover, “was taken down to our arrest processing centre yesterday and appeared before a justice of the pace and released on a $10,000 cash bail,” a police spokesperson told the Calgary Sun newspaper Monday.

According to TMZ, the incident happened back in 2003.

We’re told the warrant was issued back in 2003 — for an incident in which Steve-O allegedly attacked somebody with an unknown object. So far, the identity of the victim is unclear.

Steve-O was placed behind bars for a short while — before going in front of a judge. He was eventually released on $10,000 Canadian ($10,216.60 U.S.) bail … which the actor had to pay IN CASH.

Steve-O is due back in court in May.

He was booked to do his stand-up comedy act at the Laugh Shop Comedy Club in Calgary for five shows from March 24 to 26.

The new Dancing with the Stars cast was announced Sunday.

Steve-O has been transferred from a rehabilitation center into a psychiatric hospital.

The troubled stuntman – real name Stephen Glover – had enrolled in a narcotics program to treat his drug addictions, but after allegedly getting clean, he has been moved to the secure mental ward at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

In an entry posted on his official website on Thursday, he writes: “I’m back in the loony bin trying to get my s**t right. I’ve now been clean for 115 days and I’m back in a mental institution.”

He adds: “I did so much cocaine, Ketamine, PCP, nitrous oxide and all sorts of other drugs that, quite simply, my brain is f**ked up.”

Glover was ordered to enter the rehab facility after being charged with cocaine possession following his March 3rd arrest on suspicion of vandalizing his neighbours’ L.A. property.

Earlier this week, it was announced the star is set for further legal troubles, after a security guard filed charges against him in relation to an alleged assault at the launch of Paris Hilton’s clothing line in August 2007.

Steve-O is facing more legal troubles – a security guard is suing him over an alleged assault at the launch of Paris Hilton’s clothing line.

Doorman Roland Cano was hired to work at the Kitson store in Los Angeles in August 2007 to provide extra security while Hilton unveiled her fashion range.

Cano has accused Steve-O – real name Stephen Glover – of attacking him when he was denied access to the event.

Glover was reportedly filming reality show Dr. Steve-O at the time and Cano has also named TV network NBC and the star’s bodyguard in the suit, which was filed at L.A. County Superior Court on Tuesday.

Cano alleges in the papers that Glover “without provocation, violently punched (his) head repeatedly” and is suing the stuntman for unspecified damages, according to TMZ.com.

Glover will soon be forced to enter rehab after entering a guilty plea to felony drug charges relating to an incident in March in which he allegedly vandalized a neighbor’s property.

Steve-O pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession on Tuesday in a Los Angeles courthouse.

He was ordered to attend rehab for two years.

The plea is part of a deal that will keep the Jackass star, 33, out of jail.

“Steve is doing great – he has been sober for 85 days,” his lawyer, Barry Gerald Sands, tells Usmagazine.com. “His probation is set for 18 months, but it may be shorter depending on his good behavior and continuation with the program he is in.”

Sands added that Steve-O “is currently living in a sober house and has straightened up.”

Steve-O was arrested in March after feuding with a neighbor over a fence. Cops found drugs on him and booked him. He initially pleaded not guilty.

After the arrest, he checked into a UCLA center for psychiatric treatment.

In a blog post, Steve-O said his pal Johnny Knoxville “came to my home” and physically “forced me into the hospital.”

Steve-O made a brief appearance in court yesterday to enter a plea of not guilty in relation to felony drug charges.

The troubled 33-year-old – real name Stephen Glover – was charged with possession of cocaine after his March 3rd arrest on suspicion of vandalizing his neighbors’ property in Los Angeles. Just days after the incident, Steve-O checked himself into L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he received treatment following a reported suicide attempt.

But he appeared clean-cut and healthy before Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Henry J. Hall at his arraignment on Wednesday, and let his lawyer Barry Sands speak on his behalf throughout the hearing.

Steve-O is next due in court on May 13th for a preliminary hearing.

Steve-O has forfeitted his $10,000 bail after missing his court date yesterday, but he’s doing great, according to his lawyer, Barry Sands.

He says, “He’s been in the hospital for two weeks, he voluntarily checked himself in. But he will be at the the next court hearing.”

Steve-O is currently hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which caused his absence from the arraignment on felony cocaine charges yesterday.
