The man known to millions of cable TV viewers as Chumlee on the reality show "Pawn Stars" was being held late Wednesday in a Las Vegas jail following his arrest on felony weapon and drug charges.
Austin Lee Russell, 33, was taken into custody when officers serving a search warrant in a sexual assault investigation found methamphetamine, marijuana and at least one gun at his southwest Las Vegas home, police said in a statement.

Wonder if the horn on the Chevy plays La Cucaracha?
Not quite as bad as H2 which changed its' name to Viceland and started showing programs glorifying homosexuality and dope. I don't know how much further into depravity this country can descend but it's hellbent on destroying any sense of decency and turning society into a cesspool.
It was the “Old Man” that did it! /s
Rick’s son “Big Hoss” aka “Lard Ass” got busted in Big Bear,
Calif a few years ago for assault. (Had a little problem in a bar. Probably ran his mouth.)
Uhh.. probably has something to do with the viewing audience demographic.
With a meth habit, not for long.
This guy was making 25K per show.
What a dummy.
I saw that on the tube (Fox) while at the gym.
Rick is a decent guy but one of those pallid conservatives who thinks things "should get done" in Washington.
What's also interesting about the Chumlee bust is that Rick fired the young woman employee Olivia (who actually brought a note of normalcy to the show) for showing up online half-dressed, to wit:
Raise your hand of you’re shocked.
Anyone?
No, didn’t think so.
I don’t receive H2 and wasn’t aware of that. thanks.
The first time he called me “my man” I’d deck him.
Yep. That really irks me.
Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty sure that once you’ve got X amount of drugs in possession any weapons in association with them carry their own charge. Might be weak in this case, but prosecutors like to throw the bucket so to speak, some of it will stick.
That’s assuming there isn’t some sort of reality show shenanigans going on...
He seems like such a nice young man.
Actually he seems very nice, at least in person. My wife bought an opal ring from him when we were in LV several years ago. He was very nice, very polite, and very helpful, showing my wife different rings. He was the only one of the cast there that day, and was just waiting on customers.
He had no problem having his photo taken with my wife.
I also heard he’s one of the wealthiest of the group due to his investments.
Did you ever notice how anyone featured in a porn movie is labeled a porn "star"?
Yet anyone featured in a regular release movie is not a "star"? Just an actor.
[[But overnight he got money and fame and access to women. Bad combo for a guy like him.]]
Exactly- that’s what i thought as well- it’s a boatload of temptation that many can’t handle-
