One of the stars of the reality TV show "Pawn Stars" told a judge on
Monday he's taking a plea deal that would spare him jail time in a case
stemming from the discovery of guns, marijuana and other drugs at his
Las Vegas home.
Austin Lee Russell, who is known as "Chumlee" to
television viewers, said he'll plead guilty to a felony weapon charge
and a misdemeanor attempted drug possession count in an agreement that
will get him counseling and three years' probation.
If he stays out of trouble until 2019, the felony
charge would be dismissed and Russell would be left with only a
misdemeanor conviction on his record.
If he doesn't, he'll face two to five years in state prison on the weapon possession charge.
