Pawn Stars' figure jailed in Vegas on weapon, drug charges

http://www.sacbee.com/latest-news/article65106402.html
 
that guy is such a tool.

Russell was being held pending an initial court appearance on 19 drug-possession charges and one weapon charge, according to Clark County Detention Center records. His bail was set at $62,000.

dont understand the gun charge anybody have an idea?
so is he not allowed to have a gun? is he a former felon or did he have a illegal gun like a machine-gun or is it because they found drugs and a gun the gun is a automatic additional charge?

Heh - if you click to show the second picture, the caption is "In this May 5, 2010 file photo, Chumlee of the reality cable TV show "Porn Stars," whose given name is Austin Lee Russell,..."
 
This guy probably just lost a 6-figure job. A couple years from now, look for him appearing at grand openings of nail salons to sign autographs and take pictures.

If he had meth, then why was he always so tired and late for work?

Probably playing his character for the show.

Doubt it. Even though his "bumbling idiot" persona was exaggerated for the show he's still the childhood friend of the owner... Which is the main reason he had that job in the first place. I'd be surprised if they don't let him come back.

depends on how this part plays out

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.

Russell wasn't booked on a sex-crime allegation. Officer Larry Hadfield, a department spokesman, said that part of the investigation stemmed from a recent complaint by a woman, and it is continuing.

His pay from the shop is peanuts (probably like $25K-$30K/year). His pay from the show is about the same - per episode. So if the show dumps him but the shop keeps him, he won't appear on the show but will be making a fraction of his previous income.
 
There is another person that works at the shop that used to be on the show but isn't, the chick who did porn.

Not positive, but I think if while committing a felony (drug charge) you have a weapon you get a weapon charge.

What I learned on the grand jury...steal a pistol during a burglary, get charged with possession of a weapon while committing a felony.😀
 
Drugs, big deal IMO. The gun thing could be bad, but I'm not really sure what the charge is. As it stands, this doesn't seem like a big deal. Search most houses in Las Vegas and you will likely find illegal crap half the time. Weed completely fits his persona. Meth needs to get him into rehab if he has a problem. The gun could be anything.

The article I read said he was charged with "possession of a gun by a prohibited person" which indicates to me he was already deemed not eligible to have one. Dunno why though.
 
well the police report explains the gun charge. stupid fuck admitted to using drugs to the cops... so the piggy back charge of having firearms while using drugs was added.

this is why you keep your mouth shut kids.
