Austin Lee Russell, better known as “Chumlee” from the hit reality show Pawn Stars, is facing serious legal troubles after a police raid at his Las Vegas home uncovered firearms and controlled substances. Now 33, Russell is reportedly preparing to accept a plea agreement to avoid harsher penalties.
Court filings indicate he will plead guilty to attempted possession of a controlled substance, surrender seized items, serve three years of probation, and complete mandatory treatment programs. A felony weapons charge will remain on record but could be dismissed if he complies fully. Failure to do so could bring up to five years in prison.
Chumlee, once the comic relief of Pawn Stars, became a fan favorite for his humor and easygoing personality. His legal troubles, however, have sparked debates on celebrity accountability, rehabilitation, and public scrutiny.
For Russell, the plea deal offers a second chance: an opportunity to rebuild his life and reputation if he follows court orders. Whether he remains part of Pawn Stars depends on his ability to meet these conditions and reshape his future.
