Police entered Chumlee’s home on a search warrant relating to a sexual assault case, finding marijuana, guns and methamphetamine.
Russell is now held at the Clark County Detention Center on bail of $62,000.
When he’s not appearing on “Pawn Stars” (or getting arrested), Chumlee is known to enjoy collecting sneakers and cars.
Millions of people know Chumlee as the likable, mild-mannered sidekick from the massively popular reality cable TV show “Pawn Stars”.
“We don’t have details yet”, Harrison, 50, told Fox News in an emailed statement.
The report adds that Russell was not charged in the sexual assault case. No one from the Las Vegas Boulevard store, the History Channel or the A&E Network has commented on Chumlee’s arrest.
Records show there are 19 drug possession charges filed against him.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Russell had a lawyer.
