PAWN Stars co-host Corey Harrison has claimed he is going to fight back against his DUI arrest in Las Vegas.
On September 8, Corey, 40, was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, for driving under the influence.
The Pawn Stars alum opened up about his arrest - which led to his license being suspended - in a revealing interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The History Channel star planned to hire a Vegas attorney to take on his case.
Cory said he had taken a blood test but was not given the results by the officers, who supposedly knew he was.
After requesting a sobriety test, he recalled: “The officer said it was broken. But I’m like, amongst the four police officers that were here, there wasn’t one breathalyzer?

Corey closed: "After pulling me over suspecting I’ve been drinking? I would have definitely called for a vehicle with one.”
Along with the breathalyzer dispute, the reality star intended to argue the arrest with a series of alleged mitigating factors, which include "a badly infected right shin," trouble keeping his balance on the sidewalk, and "driving with a case of unopened wine."
Corey said: “I’m not going to say, 'Screw Metro!' Drinking and driving should be legal!'
“I’m not trying to be that guy. But I’m the guy who, when I get punched in the face, I am going to fight back.”
