AceShowbiz - "Pawn Stars" regular Austin "Chumlee" Russell was arrested during sexual assault raid in his southwest Las Vegas Valley home on Wednesday, March 9. Chumlee was booked into the Clark County Detention Center with a bail set at $62,000.
Chumlee is facing 19 drug possession charges and one count of possession of a gun by a prohibited person. According to Metro Police, cops were serving a search warrant in a sexual assault investigation when they discovered methamphetamine, marijuana and firearms in Chumlee's house.
The 33-year-old reality star has not been charged in the sexual assault case. Metro spokesman officer Larry Hadfield said that part of the sexual assault investigation stemmed from a recent complaint by a woman, and it's still continuing.
It's unknown if Chumlee has hired a lawyer. His "Pawn Stars" co-star Rick Harrison said, "We don't have details yet but are here to help Chumlee however we can." Representative for A&E Network and the History Channel hasn't commented on the issue yet.
