According to law enforcement, Kennedy was accused of violently attacking a man at the motel, leaving the victim with a fractured skull and a concussion.

He apparently then fled the scene.

‘THREATENED COPS NINE TIMES’

It’s unclear what provoked the reported attack but Kennedy, a longtime associate of Rob Dyrdek, was taken into custody.

As he was being booked, the professional skateboarder allegedly became aggressive towards police.

The 36-year-old reportedly threatened to murder officers on nine separate occasions.

He even allegedly referenced the murder of a police officer in Whittier, in 2017, telling officers: “We killed ya’ll in Whittier, California. We killed ya’ll b**ch ass.”

Kennedy was ultimately arrested and hit with a slew of charges, including aggravated battery in a public place and threatening a public official.

VIOLATED BOND

A police spokesperson told TMZ Kennedy had been out on bond for a previous offense at the time of his arrest. He was also therefore charged for violating his bond.

Kennedy made a preliminary appearance in court on Wednesday where a judge set his bail at $100,000.

He remains behind bars as of Thursday afternoon, jail records show.
