Reality star Rick Harrison says he’ll be there for Austin "Chumlee" Russell, his “Pawn Stars” co-star who was arrested Wednesday on felony weapon and drug charges.

"We don't have details yet, but we are here to help Chumlee any way we can,” Harrison told FOX411 via email.

Russell has appeared on the network since the popular show's debut in 2009. He is depicted on the series as the long-time best friend of Harrison's son, Corey.

Russell, 33, was taken into custody when officers serving a search warrant in a sexual assault investigation found methamphetamine, marijuana and at least one gun at his southwest Las Vegas home, police said in a statement.

He was released on bond, the Clark County District Attorney's Office told FOX411, and he has a court date set for Friday morning.

Russell wasn't booked on sex-crime charges, but Officer Larry Hadfield, a department spokesman, said that part of the investigation stemmed from a recent complaint by a woman, and it is continuing.

The reality star was held and charged with 19 counts of drug-possession and one weapon charge, according to Clark County Detention Center records. His bail was set at $62,000.

It wasn't immediately clear if Russell had a lawyer.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The man known to millions of cable TV viewers as "Chumlee" on the reality show Pawn Stars was being held late Wednesday in a Las Vegas jail following his arrest on felony weapon and drug charges.

Austin Lee Russell, 33, was taken into custody when officers serving a search warrant in a sexual assault investigation found methamphetamine, marijuana and at least one gun at his southwest Las Vegas home, police said in a statement.

Russell wasn't booked on a sex-crime allegation. Officer Larry Hadfield, a department spokesman, said that part of the investigation stemmed from a recent complaint by a woman, and it is continuing.

I wonder what his involvement is? It could be that the drugs all belonged to his flat mates and the gun could be a collector's piece.

Nevada has very relaxed gun laws so unlikely. Would have to be something military (as an example) to be an issue there. My first thought was that Chumlee might be an ex-felon so not allowed guns, but then he wouldn't be allowed to work with them or handle them in the shop either...

Edit:

Maybe he is a felon after all.

Russell was taken to the Clark County Detention Center, where, as of Wednesday night, he was still listed as an inmate facing charges of "possession of a gun by a prohibited person" and 19 drug-related charges.

I like this dude, but if you do crime you must be prepared to do the time - no excuses.
 
he always looks stupid on that show yet i have a feeling he has a vast amount of knowledge stored in that little head of his.
