Tech billionaire and Broadcom co-founder Henry T. Nicholas III was arrested this week in a Las Vegas hotel room on suspicion of drug trafficking, jail records show.
Authorities responded to a call from the Encore hotel Tuesday night regarding contraband in one of its rooms, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Police arrested Nicholas, 59, and a woman identified as Ashley Fargo, 37, on suspicion of trafficking cocaine, ecstasy, heroin and methamphetamine.
Both have since been released from custody, a police spokesman said.
Nicholas’ attorney, famed for representing the likes of Paris Hilton, Bruno Mars, and Motley Crue singer Vince Neil, said his client was released on his own recognizance.
Nicholas has had previous run-ins with the law.
According a 2008 indictment cited by the Los Angeles Times, Nicholas was accused of distributing and using drugs on a private flight between Orange County, Calif., and Las Vegas.

i think a 5’2” illegal mexican handed me a card with her pic on it in front of Bally’s hotel in Vegas last year...
This guy was as high profile as Gates and Jobs during the dot com era, when Broadcom stock was the darling of CNBC.
Then he went big on shorting TSLA...
He just had a margin call from hell and had to cover it, somehow.
