Corey Harrison Arrested: Why Is Pawn Star in Jail?

Reality television personality Corey Harrison, widely known as “Big Hoss” from the popular History Channel show “Pawn Stars,” is making headlines for an unfortunate incident. The star found himself in legal trouble after being arrested in Las Vegas on a DUI charge. The arrest occurred around 2 a.m. local time when Harrison’s white Ford F250 pickup allegedly veered into a bike lane, catching the attention of law enforcement.

Arrest Details:

According to a police report obtained by EW, the arresting officer observed signs of impairment, noting “bloodshot” eyes and detecting a “strong odor of alcohol” inside Harrison’s truck. The incident unfolded after Harrison had flown to Vegas from Minnesota, where he was reportedly filming “Pawn Stars Do America” earlier that day.

Field Sobriety Test and Arrest:

Upon being pulled over, Harrison was subjected to a field sobriety test, which he reportedly failed. TMZ, which first reported the news, claimed that Harrison then agreed to a breathalyzer test. However, the testing machine was allegedly malfunctioning, leading to the police obtaining a blood sample for analysis. As of now, the results of this blood sample remain undisclosed.

Harrison’s Response:

In response to the charges, Harrison expressed his intention to fight back. Speaking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, he asserted his commitment to hiring an attorney for his defense. While acknowledging the seriousness of the situation, Harrison emphasized his determination to stand up for himself. “I’m not going to say, ‘(Screw) Metro! Drinking and driving should be legal!’” he said. “I’m not trying to be that guy. But I’m the guy who, when I get punched in the face, I am going to fight back.”
