Russell, 33, was arrested March 9 after police serving a warrant in a sex assault case found a small arsenal of weapons, a gallon plastic bag of pot, anxiety medication and a small amount of methamphetamine at his home.

The "small arsenal of weapons" consisted of a total of 12 guns, ranging "from registered handguns to a shotgun and assault-style MP5 and .223-caliber rifles that were not registered."

By that definition, I have a large arsenal of weapons in my home. Good thing I don't have any pot, Xanax or methamphetamines (which could have been prescribed Ritalin for all we know from the article).

No action was ever taken on the sex assault allegations. So basically, the police searched his home, found no evidence to support the assault allegations, found a dozen guns and charged him with felony weapons possession (the drugs resulted in separate misdemeanor charge).

No jail? Too bad. I’d like to see every reality show participant in jail if I had my druthers.

Who hasn't had that happen?

He can’t stay put of trouble until 2019. He’s plain white trash that doesn’t know any better

Not to sound too conspiratorial, but this has a peculiar smell to it based on the details in this article. More like payback.

The volume of drugs described here are not worth the paperwork for the police in a city like Las Vegas. Someone wanted to ring this guy's bell.

They aren't brothers, just friends. I think Corey had the stomach surgery for his weight loss.

A gallon of pot is only a misdemeanor in Nevada?

I don’t see the gun violation? Do you have to register your guns in Nevada? Where is the rule requiring gun registration? I guess he has pot. Meth is bad but what was the gun violation? He worked at a pawn shop for Gosh sakes. You think people don’t pawn guns that have been sold 12 times? Yikes. Something wrong here . Is this article actually implying that we have to register our guns? That is a lie.

Russell, 33, was arrested March 9 after police serving a warrant in a sex assault case. Russell wasn't arrested on a sex crime allegation, and no charge was filed in that case. "The case will end, with court approval, without any allegation of sexual assault,"

Okay. Let me see if I got this straight. He was arrested after being served a warrant in a sex assault case but he wasn't charged with a sexual assault and there will be no allegation of sexual assault.

Would it help me understand this if I was on drugs?

“The History Channel” has declined rapidly and it seems to me that it all began with various programs featuring tattooed guys from Las Vegas.

Pawn Stars was interesting to begin with but it got old pretty soon. A whole bunch of other programs based on reality shops are much worse.

Now they are going to show “Roots” which was and is a travesty on history. Exactly the sort of thing which real historians should point out instead of glorifying the lies.

They are a Draw for Las Vegas, hence the nothing sentence.

He's in the dollar DVD bin next to Hoppity Hooper, Fractured Fairy Tales, and Linus the Lionhearted.
