Reality star family endorser of RUBIO arrested: "Chumlee" (Pawn Stars)

CLARIFICATION: The RUBIO endorser is the (?) main star, the "normal" seeming one (this dude's father? Not the old man). I doubt this Chumlee dude has any civic thoughts in his head.

[font size=5]Chumlee from 'Pawn Stars' Arrested During Sexual Assault Raid[/font]

Chumlee from "Pawn Stars" has been arrested for guns and drugs after police raided his home while investigating an alleged sexual assault ... TMZ has learned.

Las Vegas Metro PD says officers showed up at his home Wednesday afternoon with a search warrant in connection with a sexual assault case. We're told Chumlee is the suspect in that case.

Our law enforcement sources tell us cops found marijuana, meth and at least one weapon during the search.

Chumlee was taken into custody and booked for drug and weapon possession. We're told the sexual assault is still under investigation.

Story developing ...

I knew he'd let his ego get the best out of him.

(for those who doesn't know, Austin is Chumlee's real name)

it's supposed to be cute and funny but it's just lame and takes away from the only good part of the show which is when people bring in items and there are some historical things you can learn from it.

Only because of the history that it reviled. The fake drama that 'Reality Shows' like Pawn Stars, Duck Dynasty (gag), and virtually all of this genera of TV shows that script drama for nothing more than fan loyalty and advertising growth plays on the gullibility of their viewership. There are very few true real reality shows and those still try to inject drama, fake humor and scripted life threatening situations to sell their sponsors products. Manufactured reality seems to be a big money maker for those who prostitute their honesty for monitory gains. It's obvious to most that these shows are highly scripted and acted by very bad actors but then, Trump happens because of that gullibility, IMO.
