<p class="mol-para-with-font">The billionaire co-founder of the semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom and his glamour girlfriend have been arrested in Las Vegas on drug trafficking charges after police responding to a medical emergency, reportedly discovered cases of heroin, cocaine and other drugs in the couple’s hotel room.<br />
According to TMZ, the incident began unfolding on Tuesday when controversial tech tycoon and philanthropist Henry Nicholas III, 59, was unable to enter his room at the four-star Encore Hotel and called security.<br />
When hotel personnel gained access into the room, they reportedly found Nicholas’ girlfriend, Ashley Fargo, lying unresponsive with a partially inflated balloon sticking out of her mouth.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Paramedics who were summoned to the scene were able to revive Fargo, after which hotel security began questioning Nicholas about the balloon and canisters found in the room.<br />
Nicholas reportedly admitted that the receptacles contained nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas.<br />
Encore personnel also observed several cases in the room that looked similar to those used to transport weapons, and contacted police.<br />
Responding officer opened the cases and discovered a large quantity of marijuana, as well as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and ecstasy pills, which were stamped with the likeness of Winnie the Pooh, <a class="class" href="http://www.tmz.com/2018/08/09/broadcom-founder-henry-nicholas-arrested-drugs-vegas-ashley-fargo/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">TMZ </a>reported.<br />
Nicholas, whose current net worth is estimated at $3.1billion, according to Forbes, and his girlfriend, whose ex-husband is a banking heir, were arrested on felony drug trafficking charges.<br />
This is not Nicholas&#8217; first run-in with the law: in 2008, the flamboyant former CEO of Broadcom was indicted on securities fraud, conspiracy and federal narcotics trafficking charges, which were all later dismissed.<br />
Nicholas helped launch Broadcom in 1991 with his business partner Henry Samueli and became a billionaire when the chipmaker went public seven years later.</p>
<h6 class="mobile-gallery-icon"><strong><img class="alignnone wp-image-297549" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Henry-Nicholas-III-4.jpg" alt="Henry Nicholas III 4.jpg" width="672" height="475" />In 2010 tech billionaire Nicholas [photo], saw trafficking charges against him dropped. He had been indicted on securities fraud, conspiracy and federal narcotics charges, which were all dismissed </strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">He resigned from the board of Broadcom in 2003, saying he wished to reconcile with his then-estranged wife, Stacy, and spend more time with their three children, but retained a 3 per cent stake in his company.<br />
The couple divorced in March 2008, putting an end to their 20-year marriage, which had begun crumbling after Mrs Nicholas allegedly caught her husband with a prostitute inside his secret sex lair situated in a tunnel beneath the family&#8217;s sprawling Laguna Hills estate.<br />
These salacious allegations first came to light in 2002, when a contractor hired by Nicholas to build a $30million underground complex under his mansion sued the billionaire, accusing him of failing to pay construction workers for their labor, reported <a class="class" href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-nicholas18jul18-story.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Los Angeles Times. </a><br />
The plaintiffs in the case also claimed that Nicholas had a &#8216;manic&#8217; obsession with prostitutes, whom he would bring to his personal subterranean &#8216;brothel,&#8217; and that he was addicted to cocaine and ecstasy.<br />
The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court.<br />
Since his departure from Broadcom, Nicholas has been devoting his time and money to charity work and has emerged as a leading crime victims&#8217; rights advocate.</p>
