, losing his job there following a format change from classic rock to all sports radio in September, 2011.
On March 9, 1990, he was arrested while attempting to buy cocaine in Daytona Beach, Florida. Ironically, Bonaduce was there to host an event for D.A.R.E.
, an anti-drug campaign aimed at children. http://articles.philly.com/1990-03-12/news/25905179_1_partisan-politics-partridge-family-tv-crack Bonaduce was suspended from WEGX, and then reinstated under the condition he attend therapy and drug rehabilitation.

Bonaduce was not in that job long before another arrest made national news. On March 31, 1991, he was arrested on charges of robbing and beating a transvestite prostitute in Phoenix. Police found him hiding in a closet in his apartment. Police alleged he had picked up the prostitute in his car. According to the police report, Bonaduce beat and kicked the prostitute before taking his money back. Residents heard screaming and called police.
"When I picked him up," Bonaduce later explained, "I thought he was a girl. I picked him up, he got in my car. As soon as he got in and the dome light hit him, it was obvious. He wasn't a good transvestite. If he was a good transvestite, I might never had known. I was wasted. He gets in the car and I said, 'Oh, sorry, wrong car.' And he says, 'Well you took me off my corner, give me $40.00.' I said 'Dude, wrong car, hop out!' This went on for 6 or 7 minutes and he still wouldn't get out. So I get out of the car, opened his door and pulled him out of the car. But when I did, I see he's this huge guy, about 220 pounds. I weighed 150 pounds! I attacked him first, not because I wanted to, I just thought I was going to have to and I'm too small to take the punishment from a 220-pound man. If he had hit first, I would have gone down and stayed down. So I attacked him and it turned into a fight".http://www.nndb.com/people/720/000022654/ Following his arrest, he was fired by KKFR.
In 2010, while appearing on a reunion of famous TV families on NBC's Today, [David Cassidy] remarked, "Whenever [Bonaduce] gets arrested, for some reason, people call me." The two remain friends and have performed together on many occasions in the years following the Partridge Family.
show participant Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton during the Fox Reality Awards
. Toward the end of the awards show, Dalton appeared onstage and was booed by the audience. Bonaduce walked on stage and explained that the audience reaction was "because they hate you." Bonaduce was walking off the stags as Dalton called him back. Dalton then jumped on Bonaduce to hug him and Bonaduce stated later that he was uncomfortable with Dalton's hands near his throat. Bonaduce, a black belt
in Tang Soo Do
, adjusted his balance and his grip, and Dalton was thrown up and over Bonaduce's head. Dalton fell to the floor, face first. Dalton stood up after a few moments and staggered before slowly walking off stage, his back to the audience. Bonaduce then smiled and proceeded to make faces and exaggerated shrugging motions at the audience before walking off stage.
Bonaduce later said the two had never previously had any negative altercations or words, but that they had met occasionally in the past. He said he had never liked Dalton, mostly because Dalton, in true "Jonny Fairplay" form, had lied about his grandmother's death during his first run on Survivor. While Bonaduce did not believe Dalton was significantly hurt at the time, TMZ.com
confirmed that Fairplay bled significantly, lost some teeth and suffered a broken toe.
Dalton chose to press charges, and a felony battery investigation was opened by the police; Bonaduce was named as a suspect. On October 5, 2007, the L.A. District Attorney's office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove Bonaduce had committed a battery, because the contact had been initiated by Dalton and Bonaduce had acted in self-defense.

. In real life, Madden was something of a second father to Bonaduce, taking Danny into his home during periods of domestic strife in the boy’s own home. Bonaduce also had a close relationship with co-star Shirley Jones.
Following the end of the series, Bonaduce's late teens and twenties involved drug abuse and even a period of homelessness. On his own radio show on August 4, 1997, the actor told listeners that he had lived in his car behind Grauman's Chinese Theatre
for a time, while being greeted by fans and autograph seekers.
In 1985, Bonaduce married Japanese real estate agent Setsuko Hattori. The marriage lasted three years. On November 4, 1990, Bonaduce met second wife Gretchen Hillmer on a blind date. Bonaduce married Hillmer the same day, later telling fans that he asked Hillmer to sleep with him, and she said she only would if they were married. Despite the unusual start to the marriage, the two remained married for eight years, and had two children together, Isabella and Dante. Hillmer spoke to the press about her husband's ongoing struggles with drug abuse, stating she had lain down in the couple's driveway when Bonaduce was going to get in his car to buy drugs. She told him he would have to drive over her first.
By the time he met Hillmer, Bonaduce had been fired by WEGX-FM in Philadelphia for drug use and had been arrested in Phoenix, Arizona for an altercation with a transvestite prostitute. Bonaduce has publicly stated that Hillmer took an interest in him when no one else did, and that she went to great lengths to help him maintain his sobriety, which usually lasted only for brief periods. In an episode of A&E's Biography first telecast in 2006, Bonaduce openly discussed his long struggle with drugs and alcohol. On April 9, 2007, Bonaduce's drug and alcohol abuse had taken its toll on the marriage, and the two divorced, citing irreconcilable differences.
Bonaduce began dating his current wife, Amy Railsback, in April of 2007. They met at a Starbucks in the Los Angeles area. Railsback, who is 23 years his junior, was formerly a substitute school teacher. She now manages Bonaduce's career full-time, works as a writer for his radio show, and is occasionally seen in sketches on The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest...
on truTV. Danny proposed to Amy in March of 2009, and the couple married on November 22, 2010 at the Four Seasons on Maui, Hawaii. They maintain homes in both Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

He was eventually fired from WEGX and moved to a shift at KKFR-FM in Phoenix, Arizona.
Bonaduce was not in that job long before another arrest made national news. On March 31, 1991, he was arrested on charges of robbing and beating a transvestite prostitute in Phoenix. Police found him hiding in a closet in his apartment. Police alleged he had picked up the prostitute in his car. According to the police report, Bonaduce beat and kicked the prostitute before taking his money back. Residents heard screaming and called police.
"When I picked him up," Bonaduce later explained, "I thought he was a girl. I picked him up, he got in my car. As soon as he got in and the dome light hit him, it was obvious. He wasn't a good transvestite. If he was a good transvestite, I might never had known. I was wasted. He gets in the car and I said, 'Oh, sorry, wrong car.' And he says, 'Well you took me off my corner, give me $40.00.' I said 'Dude, wrong car, hop out!' This went on for 6 or 7 minutes and he still wouldn't get out. So I get out of the car, opened his door and pulled him out of the car. But when I did, I see he's this huge guy, about 220 pounds. I weighed 150 pounds! I attacked him first, not because I wanted to, I just thought I was going to have to and I'm too small to take the punishment from a 220-pound man. If he had hit first, I would have gone down and stayed down. So I attacked him and it turned into a fight".http://www.nndb.com/people/720/000022654/ Following his arrest, he was fired by KKFR.
