'1000-Lb Sisters' Amy Slaton arrested on drug and child endangerment charges after camel bite incident at zoo

Labor Day turned into a day behind bars for "1000-Lb Sisters" star Amy Slaton, and it's all because of a wild zoo visit gone wrong. It wasn't just a camel bite that sent shockwaves through the Tennessee Safari Park-Slaton's run-in with the law added a jaw-dropping twist.

Crockett County deputies rolled up to the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo on Monday after getting a call about a camel sinking its teeth into a guest. But this wasn't just a routine animal encounter gone awry. Things took a serious turn when the deputies stumbled upon Amy Slaton and her companion, Brian Scott Lovvorn, sitting in a vehicle with a suspicious aroma wafting from within.

That smell? Allegedly linked to narcotics. And just like that, Slaton and Lovvorn found themselves in cuffs, facing charges for illegal possession of Schedule I and Schedule VI drugs. But that's not all-they're also accused of endangering a child, with two counts of child endangerment slapped on top.

The '1000-Lb Sisters' star's rocky road continues to unravel

The details are still murky-no word on who the child was or exactly what drugs were in play. But one thing's for sure-Tennessee's no fan of weed, where it's still very much illegal. As for the camel's bite, Crockett County officials are keeping tight-lipped about the victim and the extent of the injuries.

It's a shocking turn for Amy, who's been a staple on "1000-Lb Sisters" since it first hit TLC in 2020, alongside her sister Tammy, as they documented their intense weight loss journey. But Amy's personal life has been anything but smooth sailing lately-just last year, her husband, Michael Halterman, called it quits after four years of marriage. The exes share two young sons, Gage and Glen, who are just four and two years old.

Now, with both Amy and Brian sitting in a county jail, their mug shots making the rounds, fans are left wondering what's next for the reality star who seems to be tangled in a web of drama far beyond the TV screen.
