Chumlee Arrested: What did Chumlee get arrested and convicted of?

On March 9, 2016, Chumlee’s home was raided during the course of an investigation into sexual assault allegations. During searches of his residence, police found crystal meth, marijuana, Xanax and multiple firearms.

Evidence of possible cocaine use was also found. Chumlee was arrested but released on bond the following day, with his first appearance in court being set for March 11, 2016.

In May 2016, he was charged with felony counts, including drug and weapon charges. David Chesnoff, Russell’s lawyer, confirmed that Russell pled guilty to a felony weapons charge (unlawful possession of a firearm) and a gross misdemeanour of attempted drug possession in a deal that called for three years of probation and counselling.

Chumlee worked at a pawn shop for five years before filing the first season, having been a childhood friend of Corey Harrison whose father and grandfather founded the shop.
