The incident occurred on Monday at the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo, where deputies from the Crockett County Sheriff\u2019s Department responded to reports of a camel biting a visitor. Upon arriving at the guest&#8217;s vehicle, deputies noticed a suspicious odor emanating from it. According to WMC-TV, they discovered Amy Slaton Halterman, Brian Scott Lovvorn, and two children inside the car. What began as an initial inquiry escalated into a drug bust that resulted in both Halterman and Lovvorn being arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The couple faces charges for illegal possession of Schedule I and Schedule VI substances, along with two counts of child endangerment. Halterman is known for her role on TLC\u2019s \u201c1,000-Lb Sisters,\u201d which chronicles her and her sister Tammy Slaton&#8217;s personal lives and weight loss journeys; they weighed over 1,000 pounds combined during the first season.<\/p>\n<p>Halterman and Lovvorn were booked into Crockett County Jail over Labor Day weekend. The Crockett County Sheriff\u2019s Department shared mugshots of both adults along with details about the original zoo incident. While no official confirmation has been made regarding the substances found in their possession, reports suggest that marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms may have been involved\u2014aligning with Tennessee&#8217;s drug scheduling laws that differ from federal regulations.<\/p>\n<p>According to Knoxville legal firm Eldridge &amp; Cravens, Schedule I drugs are considered highly dangerous due to their potential for addiction without any recognized medical use; Schedule VI includes marijuana and its derivatives. In Tennessee, all forms of marijuana use are illegal except for specific high-CBD oils used by individuals suffering from seizures.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Halterman&#8217;s minor celebrity status, local authorities indicated that justice will be pursued regardless of one&#8217;s fame or background: &#8220;In terms of justice in Crockett County&#8230; this alleged illegal activity will be prosecuted,&#8221; stated CCSD public information officer Stephen Sutton to WBBJ-TV.
