Las Vegas, September 8, 2023 – Corey Harrison, renowned for his role on the History Channel’s hit show “Pawn Stars,” found himself in legal trouble once again when he was arrested on Friday, September 8, 2023, for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) in his hometown of Las Vegas.
TMZ was quick to report that on the fateful Friday, Corey was observed swerving on the roads of Las Vegas, prompting law enforcement to intervene. During the traffic stop, Harrison reportedly admitted to having consumed alcohol during a seven-hour flight.
According to police sources, Corey Harrison requested to take a breathalyzer test to prove his sobriety. However, his request was denied due to a malfunctioning device at the scene.
Subsequently, Corey was asked to undergo a blood test and informed that a refusal might lead to an entire weekend spent in jail. Ultimately, he complied with the request. Following approximately eight hours in police custody, Harrison was released, and his driver’s license was returned. He also mentioned that the police offered him a ride back home.
Corey Harrison revealed that even at the police station, the available breathalyzer was non-functional, which prompted the need for the blood test.
Remarkably, the reality star had returned to his hometown to oversee some rental properties he manages in Los Angeles.
For those unfamiliar, Corey Harrison is a beloved television personality known for his longstanding stint on the immensely popular show “Pawn Stars,” which has aired for 21 seasons since its inception in 2009.

This isn’t the first time Corey has found himself on the wrong side of the law. In 2011, he was arrested and incarcerated for assaulting a police officer. The altercation occurred at Murray’s Saloon and Eatery in Big Bear Lake, California, after Harrison got into a heated dispute with a bartender.
The bartender promptly reported the incident to the authorities, leading to Harrison’s confrontation with the police officer and a security guard who was present at the establishment.
Speaking on the incident, San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire stated, “He pushed a deputy and pushed a security guard at the bar.” This incident resulted in allegations of battery and resistance to arrest.
