Reality TV star Amy Slaton Halterman, known for appearing on TLC’s “1,000-lb Sisters,” was arrested on Labor Day at a Tennessee zoo on drug and child endangerment charges. The arrest took place after deputies responded to a call at Tennessee Safari Park regarding a guest allegedly bitten by a camel and noticed suspicious odors coming from a vehicle in which Halterman and Brian Scott Lovvorn were present. Both were charged with illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule VI, and two counts of child endangerment. They were booked into the Crockett County Jail, and a judge set bond at $10,000 for each of them.
Halterman, who has two children with her soon-to-be ex-husband Michael Halterman, had filed for divorce in March 2023. The details of the incident, including the involvement of her children, were not disclosed. “1,000-lb Sisters” first aired on TLC in 2020 and follows the weight loss journeys of Halterman and her sister Tammy. This arrest adds a new chapter to the reality star’s story, highlighting the challenges she faces beyond her television persona.
