One of the stars of 1,000-lb Sisters has been arrested on drugs and child endangerment charges following an incident at a Tennessee safari park.

Amy Slaton, 36, can be seen frowning in a mugshot released by Crockett County Sheriff’s Office.

She was arrested on Labor Day along with Brian Scott Lovvorn, who is facing the same charges. 

Police were initially called to the Alamo safari park to reports a guest had been bitten by a camel.

Upon arrival, they noted 'suspicious odors' coming from their vehicle, according to the deputies.

Slaton and Lavvorn were arrested on charges of illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule VI, and two counts of child endangerment.

They have been booked into the Crockett County Jail. 

Slaton finalized her divorce from ex-husband Michael Halterman last year.

The couple share two children and had reportedly clashed over their appearance on the TLC reality show. 

The pair welcomed their first child, Gage Deon, in November 2020 and their second son, Glenn Allen, in July 2022.

'There was no support. There was no love. There was no kindness. There was just mental abuse,' she told People of their marriage. 'I just got tired of hiding it from people.'

A confrontation between her, her sisters and Michael was shown on season five of the series.

'That's the day I left,' she said. 'But I was falling out of love with him before that.'

After a lengthy custody battle, the former couple decided to share parenting duties. 

Amy rose to fame starring opposite her sister Tammy Slaton on the series 1000-Lb. Sisters. The fifth season of the show premiered late last year.

The star has dropped an impressive 176 pounds ever since having weight loss surgery five years ago.

Slaton introduced fans to a new man before her divorce was finalized and was dating a Michigan man named Tony, the US Sun reports. 

By the time her divorce was finalized the couple had been together for around three months. 

DailyMail.com has contacted Slaton for comment.
