Why It's Finally Time To Cancel Pawn Stars

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Chumlee, the adorable dimwit of the show, has proven to be a fan favorite, but recently that image was shattered when his home was raided earlier this year in March, with enough drugs and weapons found to put Scarface to shame. The reason the authorities actually went to his home in the first place was due to a former pawn shop employee accusing him of sexual assault (the charges of which were dropped, due to lack of evidence), so right off the bat this story is incredibly dark.

The police seized marijuana, methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia in such great amounts, they suspected him of being a dealer. They also found twelve guns (only four of which were actually registered by Chumlee) and a "Chum Chum" room where they found a dancing pole, a bag of a "white powdery substance," and a dollar bill with white residue. After Chumlee was exposed as a Grand Theft Auto villain, he was arrested and charged with various drug and gun crimes. Chumlee took a plea deal in May, which allowed him to remain out of prison with three years probation, leaving him with plenty of time to Chum Chum, though hopefully drug-free this time.

The effects of this scandal were clearly felt ... or at least, we assume they were, since History Channel has remained completely mute about the ordeal. This begs the question: will Chumlee ever return to the show? This, along with Rick possibly reducing his role, means that the two most well known cast members of the show might not return in the future.
