On September 8, 2023, Harrison was arrested in Las Vegas after an officer in the area of Main Street and Charleston Boulevard observed Harrison's white Ford pickup truck swerving between the right lane and bicycle lane. After Harrison was pulled over, the officer noticed a smell of alcohol from his car, and observed signs that Harrison was inebriated. After Harrison declined a field sobriety test, he was taken to Las Vegas city jail, where he gave a blood sample, as the jail's breathalyzer was not working, and was then booked on a charge of driving under the influence.

Harrison's brother Adam died from a drug overdose in January 2024, aged 39.{{cite web|author=Gupta, Ashima|date=March 9, 2014|url=http://richglare.com/corey-harrison-net-worth-money-rtp/|title=Corey Harrison: Net Worth, Money And More|work=Rich Glare |access-date=April 16, 2019|archive-date=July 6, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706212123/http://richglare.com/corey-harrison-net-worth-money-rtp/}}
