Jackass star Steve-O is still in police custody today after a stunt atop a crane in Los Angeles got him arrested over the weekend.

He was arrested after climbing a construction crane in Los Angeles to protest SeaWorld by displaying an inflatable orca with the words 'Seaworld Sucks" printed on it, as he wore a t-shirt promoting the Blackfish documentary. He also set off a firework during the stunt as well.

The act drew more than 80 firefighters and dozens of police officers to the scene after reports that he was spotted on the crane as part of a suicide attempt, before his real intentions soon became clear.

According to The Los Angeles Times, he is expected to be charges with suspicion of trespassing, setting a firework without a permit and conspiracy to commit a crime.

The 41-year-old stunt performer hinted he was going to do something outrageous on his Instagram page earlier in the weekend, as he held the same inflatable orca in his hands (minus the message against the marine animal park), and promised his fans that what he was planning was going to get him trouble.

"This is Shammy. We're gonna do a big dangerous stunt tomorrow in Los Angeles that will probably get me in a lot of trouble, and you can watch it happen at 7pm PST via a live stream on my Facebook page. @SeeYouAt7pmTomorrow #yeahdude," he captioned the photo.

He also filmed the whole thing and posted it online to various social media platforms prior to his arrest.

This also wasn't the first time he protested against SeaWorld. Last summer, he climbed atop a freeway sign in San Diego and attached the word 'sucks' to it. That action earned him a traffic violation,
