Despite facing felony charges for possession of a firearm (12 guns in all) and a controlled substance — specifically Xanax, marijuana and methamphetamine — Russell is expected to just receive probation at his May 23 court date.

The Pawn Stars cast member was arrested in March after police raided his Las Vegas home during a sex assault investigation.

The terms of the plea deal mean Russell won’t have to serve any jail time, and will not be charged with anything involving the sex assault.
