In a shocking turn of events, Amy Slaton, star of the reality show "1000-Lb. Sisters," found herself in hot water after being arrested at Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo. The US Sun obtained Slaton's arrest warrant, revealing that she was in possession of magic mushrooms and 80 grams of marijuana at the time of her arrest.
According to the Crockett County Sheriff's Department, Slaton, 36, and her male companion, Brian Scott Lovvorn, were charged with multiple offenses, including illegal possession of Schedule I and illegal possession of Schedule VI substances. In addition, both Slaton and Lovvorn face two counts of child endangerment as they had two young children in the car with them during the arrest.
Slaton, who is known for her appearances on the show alongside her ex-husband Michael Halterman, shares two sons, Gage, 3, and Glenn, 2, with him. The presence of the children during the incident raises serious concerns over their well-being and safety.
Following their arrest, Slaton and Lovvorn were booked into the Crockett County Jail and were seen dressed in orange jumpsuits in their mug shots, appearing worse for wear. However, on Tuesday, the pair were released on $10,000 bonds and were observed leaving police custody while holding hands.
The events leading up to the arrests were initiated by a call regarding an alleged camel bite at the safari park. Deputies from the Crockett County Sheriff's Department were dispatched to the scene and upon arriving, they detected suspicious odors emanating from Slaton and Lovvorn's vehicle.
TMZ also obtained photos of Slaton being escorted out of the zoo on a stretcher, with her right arm wrapped in a makeshift bandage. She was later transported to a hospital before being transferred to jail, indicating a possible injury sustained during the incident.
However, one of the owners of Tennessee Safari Park, Jon Conley, cast doubt on Slaton's claim of being bitten by a camel. Conley stated that the nature of her injury, described as a cut above her elbow, did not seem consistent with a camel bite and no bruised tissue was found. He also mentioned that there is no recorded evidence of any camel bites at their park, raising further questions about the validity of the alleged incident.
As the investigation continues, the consequences of Slaton's arrest and the child endangerment charges loom over her personal and professional life. Fans of "1000-Lb. Sisters" anxiously await updates on this developing story, hoping for a resolution that prioritizes the well-being of the children involved.
