THE clan behind the History Channel’s popular “Pawn Stars” is hiding a shameful family secret!
Joseph Harrison, the 51-year-old son of family patriarch Richard “The Old Man” Harrison, is reportedly a longtime member of a biker gang and has been charged with numerous felonies.
According to court documents obtained by The ENQUIRER, Joseph and other members of the notorious Vagos biker gang entered a couple’s home in July 1997 and demanded money, drugs and personal possessions. Joseph then battered a man while another gang member ripped a phone out of the wall and grabbed one of the couple’s leather jackets, the documents said.
Harrison pleaded guilty in 1999 to extortion. He was sentenced to between four and 10 years in prison, but that was suspended and he wound up with just two years’ probation.
