Might explIn his recent drop in weight (meth), but in some pics looks like he gained it all back. Cory might be the typical Millenial who runs the shop to the ground after his dad Rick gives up on running the place. Maybe not...
I actually watch the show, but always hated his character. HE always came across as a lazy moron to me. In the most recent season, he has almost no role. Maybe the TV people saw some of this. And, oh yeah, what Mikey said.
Chumlee pretends to be stupid because he's funny. He no dumber than an ordinary person. He's actually an expert in a lot of areas: watches, video games, shoes, comic books...a few other things. Looks like the meth may be the least of his troubles though what with the sexual assault and gun charges.
Shailynn the 3rd generation has historically run a family business under, but this organization may become corporate and nit dependent on 1 person. If it was strictly up to Cory to handle all business and marketing, yeah the business would fold eventually.
I find Clumlee entertaining on the show and assume the way he acts is all for the show. Lots of it is obviously scripted. He is one of the three main characters(ignoring the old man) so it could be a big loss if he was released from the show.
While I wouldn't put it past anyone to do anything we know very few ACTUAL facts about all of this. Sure, Chumlee may be a bumbling idiot or he may be smart and funny. It's possible her could be a drug thug that assaults women or her could be a nice guy making pretty good money who got slandered by some chica looking for a payout.
The article is extremely vague. From what I know methamphetamine could be multiple different things. It's even prescribed by doctors for ADHD and weight loss BOTH of which Chumlee seems like he'd have a legitimate reason for having. They found a "weapon"? Really? If they found an AK-47 or some Glock or who knows what I'd figure they be advertising that fact with the amount of ammo as well trying to paint him as a gun running drug dealer. When I simply see "weapon" and knowing the Chumlee facade I see on pawn stars it really makes me wonder if he had some knock off samurai sword or a pair of nunchucks.
He could be an idiot and headed to jail or he could be getting railroaded by some over zealous cops and DA trying to get a headline. I'll wait until we know the actual facts.
These figures are dated (2014) but the interwebs says he makes $25k per episode and has a net worth of $5 million. Why would he mess that up dealing drugs. On the other hand, Rick makes $12 million per year. Maybe Chum is a tad bit jealous.
A reality TV show that takes place in a Las Vegas Pawn Shop. People desperate for money to lose at the Blackjack tables bring in old stuff they found in their attic. Their "internet research" says the item should be worth $10,000 but the owner of the shop - a middle aged fat, bald guy - only offers them $2000 because he has to "pay the light bill".
I always liked that show (Pawn Stars) and of all of the main characters Chumlee, was always my favorite, so I hope to heck that seabordrr, is correct and this is just a setup, because I always thought of Chumlee as the perfect foil to Rick, Cory, & the Old Man.
If any of you remember Edith (Jean Stapleton) from All in the Family, she had to be very intelligent to be acting that dumb, and with such perfect timing, and I find Chumlee to be similar funny, with great timing, that cant be scripted, it needs to be understood, writers can write all of the jokes they if they are not delivered properly they will fail.
Chumlee drops his dumb persona in rare moments and I like those scenes. Anyone who thinks he's dumb as he acts (despite the arrest) must also think the Three Stooges are idiots too in real life.
Officers reported the 33-year-old Russell was reluctant to open safes, saying they contained guns and marijuana that he had for personal use.
Russell told detectives he smoked "a lot of weed," the arrest report said.
Almost 5 ounces of marijuana was found in jars and plastic bags in varying amounts, the report said, including one large Ziploc bag containing more than 4 ounces.
Police said 12 guns were seized, ranging from handguns to a shotgun and assault-style MP5 and .223-caliber rifles.
Four of the handguns were registered to Russell, the report said.
Most of the weapons were found in a bedroom vault safe, along with 17 multi-dose "bars" of the anxiety drug Xanax and seven capsules containing small amounts of methamphetamine, police said.
One loaded .45-caliber handgun was found in a master bedroom nightstand drawer, the report said.
It's not filmed on set, it's actually filmed in the pawn store as I have visited it over a year ago. Nothing spectacular but you'd be surprised at how small the place is. It looks bigger on TV.

Meth found in his house? Not a good look.
Cory is a guy I wanna bitch slap. (I almost posted that on the other thread)
The Old Man is just that - a grumpy old man
Is Chumlee that dumb or just an act?
So why do I watch? Rick.
Maybe editing makes him look smarter than he really is, but he seems like a cool dude.

I can forgive weed and guns, meth bothers me a little more.
I just caught the end so not sure how much the meth went for.
If it's filmed on a TV set how do they get the background "customers"?
It's wikipedia page states, "The series is filmed on location at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada."

"When the production crew wants to shoot, staff has to kick out customers who aren’t going to be in the show."
