“1000-Lb. Sisters” star Amy Slaton arrested after alleged camel bite

“1000-Lb. Sisters” star Amy Slaton arrested after alleged camel bite

Amy Slaton Halterman, the star of “1000-Lb. Sisters” who was arrested Monday after visiting a zoo in Tennessee, was reportedly carried out of the safari park on a stretcher shortly before her arrest.

Photos received on Tuesday from TMZ show paramedics carrying Halterman, 36, into an ambulance as she holds a piece of cloth to one of her arms. The outlet suggested that Halterman was nursing a wound she allegedly sustained from a zoo camel bite.

“It was no ordinary Labor Day in Crockett County,” the county sheriff’s department said Monday in a opinion.

When officers arrived to investigate the alleged incident at Tennessee Safari Park, they were “immediately surprised by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle,” the statement said.

Officers said they found marijuana and psychoactive mushrooms in Halterman’s car, as well as two young children. The TLC star was subsequently arrested on suspicion of illegal possession of Schedule I and VI drugs and child endangerment.

A man who was in the vehicle with Halterman, Brian Scott Lovvorn, was also arrested on the same suspicion, and both were booked into the Crockett County Jail, officials said. Before being booked, Halterman was taken to a hospital for treatment of an injury to her arm that may have been caused by the camel, Crockett County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Stephen Sutton said Tuesday.

Halterman was released on $10,000 bail Tuesday afternoon, along with Lovvorn. People was reported on Wednesday. The couple were seen “holding hands” as they left police custody.

The outlet reported that Halterman’s children were placed in the care of a family member after their mother was arrested.
