Still, there`s no reason to believe that they would risk the family business by trying something sneaky or worse illegal in this area. It is therefore quite surprising to see how things have gone over the course of the issuance of some gold coins that crossed the counter a few years ago. Pawn Stars star Rick Harrison is facing legal issues, and that`s from someone his fans could least have expected. Harrison`s mother, Joanne, sued her son in a case of alleged abuse of a family trust, valuables, stakes in his business and other investments. The lawsuit says Joanne Harrison inherited her 49 percent stake in the pawnshop after Richard Harrison`s death in 2018, but Harrison did not provide her with full documentation of her finances. This is just one of many controversies the series has faced over the years. One of the most horrific episodes reported by USA Today was when Chumlee was arrested on drug and gun charges after police raided his home. Although the charge is serious, Chumlee`s legal team negotiated a settlement, so he was guilty of only one offense. The 81-year-old mother of “Pawn Stars” star Rick Harrison has sought a restraining order against her son in the latest salvo in the family`s legal battle over money from a family fund and other investments. Case in point: Rick`s recent legal issues that caused a stir online. So, did Rick from Pawn Stars go to jail? Unpack all known details. Of course, this cast of characters was in hot water here and there.

In 2011, Corey Harrison was arrested in California for assault (via FindLaw). The affable Chumlee (aka Austin Lee Russell) was arrested in 2016 for gun and drug offenses, according to USA Today. The history page of Rick Harrison shows that he was a scammer of counterfeit products in his youth. And of course, “The Old Man,” founder of pawnbroker Richard Benjamin Harrison Jr., is known to have stolen a car as a teenager. Joanne Harrison seems to be a priority in all these legal endeavors – she wants to know where her money went. At the time of writing, Rick is not currently in prison, but he is facing serious legal problems. The law states that although Nevada pawnshops are required to store items for 30 to 90 days in case homeowners want to pick them up, gold coins are not subject to this law. Unfortunately for Walters, this meant that his collection was gone when he found it. “After years of hard work, Richard and Joanne were able to transform their shop and sell it into a pawnshop that became the famous gold and silver pawnbroker in 2009,” the lawsuit says. Joanne claims that Rick made her sign his stake in the company when she was medically compromised. People love Pawn Stars, an original reality show with a colorful cast. The story of Rick Harrison, his family and friends running the legendary Las Vegas pawnshop has become one of the greatest spectacles in history, but there`s more to it than what you see when it comes to its stars.

In fact, the veteran reality star is involved in a legal battle with his mother, Joanne Harrison, who claims he mismanaged and appropriated funds from her family trust, as well as valuables, the family business and a number of other investments. When police approached pawnshop Gold & Silver to report the theft, it was on December 5, just days after the complaint was filed. But by then, the pieces had already disappeared and melted, which is apparently common in the pawn industry. “In a fast-paced company, especially in our company, you move fast because of your reputation,” Laura Herlovich, spokeswoman, told ABC. Does this mean that the gold and silver pawnbroker received a passport based on the celebrity status of the “Pawn Stars” distribution? This does not seem right. It wasn`t well received by the audience and Walters was certainly more than a little upset. But the fact is that there was nothing to do. Some rules have exceptions and the law on items sold to pawnshops was one of them. It turns out that the coins are not covered by the law that requires pawnshops to keep the items for 30 to 90 days. Walters` pieces were gone forever. But honestly, the store hadn`t done anything wrong.

A hedge is a Nevada law that requires owners of pawnshops to keep each new item for 30 to 90 days. This leaves two possibilities. The owner may decide to buy back the item. Or the police intervene if there is a suspicion that an object has been stolen. But that didn`t happen at all when a man named David Walters played on September 27. In November 2013, he reported a crime to Clark County Court of Justice (via radar). Rick Harrison, who appears on the television show Pawn Stars, arrives at a reception for senators and their spouses in the East Room of the White House in Washington on Tuesday, March 28, 2017. Harrison is sued by his mother in a dispute over family property and pawnshop ownership on the longtime reality show. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, file) AP Among the lawsuit`s allegations, Joanne Harrison says she was forced to sign her 51 percent stake in the pawnshop in 2000 or 2001 when Joanne was in a coma in the hospital. She claims that Rick Harrison, one of the couple`s three sons, was sold his 51% stake in the pawnshop when he was hospitalized in 2000 or 2001. The pawnshop can be seen on the TV hit “Pawn Stars,” which is currently in its 19th season.

The lawsuit says Joanne inherited her husband`s shares in the pawnshop after her husband Richard`s death, but Rick did not provide his full documentation of the company`s finances. The lawsuit also states that Richard Harrison had accumulated about $500,000 in cash and $100,000 in cash before his death, but Joanne was unable to obtain proper accounting of valuables. After Richard Harrison`s death in 2018, Joanne Harrison inherited his 49% stake in the company, but the lawsuit alleges that Rick Harrison did not provide her with documentation of all of the company`s finances. The lawsuit further alleges that Joanne believes her son “did not pay distributions to Joanne commensurate with his legitimate interest in the pawnshop.” Richard Harrison is also believed to have died with about $500,000 in cash and $100,000 in cash in his name, but Joanne Harrison does not have proper accounting of these valuables. She also claims that Rick Harrison “failed and refused” to provide documents about the store`s finances. She says Rick prevented her from accessing the family trust, which had “accumulated about $500,000 in money and at least $100,000 in cash” before her husband`s death.
