Key Takeaway
“Pawn Stars” cast member Corey Harrison was arrested for DUI after being pulled over for swerving into the bike lane. The police noticed bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol, prompting them to conduct a field sobriety test and request a breath or blood sample. Despite difficulties with the breathalyzer, Harrison complied and was subsequently booked for DUI.
The arresting officer reportedly noticed that Harrison had bloodshot eyes and emitted a strong smell of alcohol. Despite Harrison’s explanation that his truck tends to pull to the right, the officer proceeded to conduct a field sobriety test. In addition, the officer requested that Harrison provide a blood or breath sample to determine his Blood Alcohol Content (BAC).
However, when asked to provide a sample, Harrison allegedly stated that he should “probably ask for his lawyer.” In response, the officer informed Harrison that a search warrant would be obtained for his blood if he refused, and his driver’s license would be revoked. Subsequently, Harrison agreed to provide a breath sample.
Unfortunately, the breathalyzer at the jail was reportedly broken, leading to the decision to draw blood instead. The results of the blood sample have not been disclosed, but Harrison was officially booked for DUI.
Corey Harrison spoke to media outlets shortly after his arrest, revealing his frustration with the broken breathalyzer. He claimed that he had only consumed one drink on a flight from Minnesota, which had taken place seven hours prior to the time of his arrest.
