When hotel staffers asked him to leave, he refused and police were called. After he was released by police, Margera went back to the center.
Margera agreed to go to rehab after asking the TV host Dr. Phil for help earlier this month. In a series of videos posted to his Instagram account, Margera said that Dr. Phil was the only person he could trust.
He also cited difficulties with past rehabs, indicating that they hadn't helped him. He expressed his respect for Dr. Phil by getting a tattoo on his neck, a video which he shared online on Tuesday.
Margera has previously been committed to alcohol abuse and behavioral health facilities for treatment.
