Pawn Stars Chumlee BUSTED...

[enyawd72]

...for meth, marijuana, and illegal guns. Facing several felony counts and I couldn't be happier.

I truly despise him as a human being. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's lazy, dishonest, narcissistic...he's the reason I stopped watching the show. Seeing the cool stuff people brought it wasn't enough to counteract his nauseating presence.

[Gorn Captain]

He has one excuse: he has no brain.
But his stupidity was probably scripted into the show, which is mostly fake anyway.

The only surprising thing is that this didn't happen sooner.

I can't stand any of them actually. Hard to watch them try to lowball people five minutes after being told an items value...I realize it's all faked, but it's still pretty low. Worst is that Rick guy's "Muttley" snicker... And the son is even more obnoxious dealing with people, he's a big bully. Wouldn't surprise me to see him dragged into the Chumlee mess too.

Wonder if Cory might be in on some of it too ? ... him and chumlee are thick as thieves

Austin Russell is just a guy playing a character on a totally fake/scripted TV show.

If you're going to seriously pass judgement on the guy, do so because of how Austin behaves in real life, not because of what his character "Chumlee" does on a silly TV show.

My Sis and nephew went to Pawn Stars a few years ago and talked to Chumlee and they said, "he was totally normal - not like he acts on the show"

[EMCE Hammer]

I haven't been able to stand watching the show for a couple of years. I knew the 'Chumlee' persona was a gag, but Big Hoss just bugs me too much. I hope that's not really his personality; he comes across to me like a miserable prick.

Meth is nasty stuff.

I'm suprised the show has lasted this long? I guess people were lined up in front of the place all day, and they only would let in so many people at a time, and a lot were
hand picked by the show makers and security since they wanted hot looking girls hanging around as camera eye candy, also at times the cast was not even there,
folks just wanted to see them more then anything else.

also I've watched shows were some customers tried to screw Rick and the others, so that does work both ways, the old man was useless, just sat around and
did nothing but tell off the others.

But have to agree, never liked the son Corey (Big Hoss), just seemed like an arrogant jerk, actually I know someone who went to vegas and stopped in at the shop
and they told me that Corey wasn't very friendly at all, as far as Chumlee, isn't this his second offense? he played dumb but the show was definitly scripted,
looks like the early success went to their heads, and that stupid game show they were on that was short lived, forgot the name.

Nailed it. Rick gets on my nerves more than any of them. he comes across as a know-it-all and constantly is the only one laughing at his own jokes. Again, maybe it's the character he's supposed to play. They all low ball the people coming into their shop. One is as bad as the other. Seeing someone destroy their life due to drugs doesn't make me happy at all. I don't feel much sorrow for them but still I see no joy in it.

[Mr.Marion]

Well he had a good run. From a minimum wage clerk to pulling in $25k an episode and a 5 mil net worth 7 years later. I guess money won't make you any smarter.

The whole pawn game seems kinda dirty --- for one thing most of your business is desperate people in need of cash and will mostly likely settle for whatever you offer them.

This Pawn Stars stuff isn't the norm --- You don't see George Washington autographs and Rolex watches walking into most pawn shops daily.

The pawn shop by me looks like a Salvation Army mission inside

[Carmelkettle]

From how their store/company/'characters'/and personalities are presented, I don't know why any 'customer' would go there. The staff low-balls and mis-represents; it all seems a big joke to them; I've been in meetings and presentations with some of their 'experts' who less expert and more like big fishes in small ponds; and the entire situation just doesn't seem honest.

[Mikey]

I can forgive him for the drugs and guns, but if he's guilty of sexual assult he needs to be put away for a long time.

Fox News :Austin Lee Russell, 33, was taken into custody when officers serving a search warrant in a sexual assault investigation.........

The only cool "character" in Pawn Stars is the grouchy old man.
