Key Takeaway
Corey Harrison, known for his role on “Pawn Stars,” was arrested for DUI in Las Vegas after being pulled over for swerving. Despite claiming to have had only one drink hours before, Harrison allegedly failed a field sobriety test. He later opted to take a blood test and was released from custody after approximately 8 hours.
Harrison, who had just returned to Las Vegas from a trip to Minnesota, had been attending to some of the short-term rental properties he manages in the city. It was during his drive when he was pulled over by a police officer for alleged swerving on the road.
Upon being stopped, Harrison disclosed to the officer that he had consumed a single drink approximately 7 hours prior on his flight back home. The officer proceeded to administer a field sobriety test and requested Harrison to take a breathalyzer test, to which Harrison claims the officer informed him that the breathalyzer was broken.
As a result, Harrison was handcuffed and taken into custody after allegedly failing the field sobriety test. At the police station, it was reported that another breathalyzer was also not functioning correctly. Law enforcement officials gave Harrison two options – either take a blood test or remain in custody for the entire weekend. Harrison chose to take the blood test and was released approximately 8 hours later.
It is worth noting that Harrison’s driver’s license was not suspended, and he was allowed to keep it. Police officers even offered him a ride home after his release.
