'Jackass' Star Arrested for 'poo rubber'

STOCKHOLM (AP) -- A star of MTV's "Jackass" was arrested in Sweden after admitting he swallowed a condom filled with marijuana, police said Friday.

Stephen Glover — known as Steve-O on the now defunct series on the American cable channel — was arrested Thursday after police raided his hotel room in Stockholm. Glover, along with other "Jackass" regulars, had performed their "Don't Try This At Home" show in the Swedish capital Wednesday night.

Prosecutor Gunnar Fjaestad said the raid happened after Glover said he swallowed the condom as a stunt.

Glover could face charges of narcotics smuggling and possession of illegal drugs. A detention hearing is scheduled for the weekend and a judge will decide if Glover should be kept in jail while prosecutors prepare any charges.

A call seeking comment from Glover's public relations company wasn't immediately returned.

On his Web site, Glover, 28, wrote that he swallowed the condom and was "stoned as can be and overjoyed with the success of 'Poo Rubber 2.'" The entry was dated May 22.

Fjaestad said police took an X-ray of Glover's body found a "foreign object" in his stomach. Police also found an ecstasy pill along with more marijuana in his hotel room.

Even possession of small amounts of drugs can lead to prison time in Sweden, which has some of the strictest drug laws in Europe. Violators can be given fines or sentenced to prison.

Fjaestad said Glover's alleged violations were especially serious because young people look up to him and other members of the MTV show, which is still aired on MTV Europe.

"Someone in his position should know better," Fjaestad said.

In the United States, prosecutors dropped obscenity charges against Glover in March after he donated $5,000 to a battered women's fund and promised to never perform in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.

Police there said Glover broke obscenity laws by dropping his pants to his knees and stapling his scrotum to his inner thigh.

I don't think he should have had to "donate" $$$, I think stapleing one's own scrotum should have been enough punishment in and of itself...

You realize that's exactly why shows like that get cancelled right? Because stupid kids (possibly like yourself) try the stunts and either hurt or kill themselves or hurt or kill others...
