Chumlee Arrested

When officers served Chumlee, 33, a search warrant at his Las Vegas home in regard to a sexual assault investigation, they found a gun, methamphetamine and marijuana, reported TMZ.

Chumlee was subsequently taken into custody. He is being held at the Clark County Detention Center pending a court appearance, and his bail has been set at $62,000.

Chumlee is facing 19 drug-possession charges and one weapon charge.

As of yet, Chumlee has not been charged with sexual assault. The investigation, which stemmed from a recent complaint filed by a woman, is ongoing.

Chumlee works at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, which is featured on the History Channel’s hit show Pawn Stars. No one from the Las Vegas Boulevard store, the History Channel or the A&E Network has commented on Chumlee’s arrest.
