That’s kinda the best headline you’ve read all week, right? If you can’t quite remember who Jeremy Jackson is, he was a child and is probably best known for his role as Hobie in Baywatch back in the day. Since then, he’s turned into an absolute mess, with numerous trips to rehab (apparently the drugs he took as a teenager made him feeling like working on Baywatch was “beneath him”, LOL), brushes with the law, etc. Most recently, he was arrested just this past Saturday for stabbing a guy at a party, though he claims it was all in self-defense.
From TMZ:
Jeremy was jailed Saturday, after cops nabbed him for allegedly burglarizing an Airbnb. Police say during the arrest they realized he fit the profile of a man who stabbed a guy the day before.
Jeremy tells TMZ, he rented an Airbnb and threw a party with some women. During the shindig, he says a guy showed up, beat him up and robbed him to the tune of $2,300.
This is where it gets bizarre. Jeremy says one of the women said she knew a guy who could help him get the money back, so Jeremy told her to get him over STAT. He says the guy showed up but then turned on him and tried robbing him for a second time.
Jeremy says the guy pulled a gun, and in self defense he pulled a buck knife from his jeans and stabbed the guy in the stomach, abdomen and arms. The guy dropped the gun and ran.
Jeremy identifies the guy as a Canoga Park gangbanger with a clown tattoo on his face.
As for the burglary … Jeremy says he went back to the Airbnb the next day to retrieve his Gucci sunglasses and some other items and had to break in to get them. That’s when the cops were called.
I… am actually really speechless on this one. Robbing an Airbnb? Stabbing a man with a clown tattoo on his face? It’s all too much to handle. I think someone needs to head back to rehab (and then, you know, jail).
fuckin’ Hobie…
hahaha
