The TV star known as Chumlee on the show Pawn Stars was arrested Wednesday following a raid on his Las Vegas home that uncovered illegal drugs and at least one gun.
Austin Lee Russell, 33, was under investigation for an alleged sexual assault but wasn’t charged with a crime in that case, the Associated Press reports. Instead, police arrested him on 19 drug possession charges and one felony weapon charge. The sexual assault investigation is ongoing, according to the AP.
Russell works at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Boulevard.
