Steve-O charged with possession of cocaine

Troubled 'Jackass' star Steve-O has been charged with felony possession of cocaine.

The 33-year-old - real name Stephen Glover - was arrested on March 3 on suspicion of vandalising his neighbours' property in Los Angeles. Police responding reportedly found him with cocaine.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney has now charged the prankster with possession of the illegal drug, according to website TMZ.com.

The news comes after Steve-O was taken to LA's Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday following a reported cry for help - the funnyman allegedly emailed 33 suicide notes to friends.

Steve-O was later admitted to the Thalians Mental Health Center, where doctors placed him on a 72-hour hold. That has since been extended to 14 days, according to American magazine Star.
