‘1,000-Lb. Sisters’ star arrested at zoo for drug possession, child endangerment: police

Amy Slaton Halterman, a star of “1,000-Lb. Sisters,” was arrested at a Tennessee zoo and charged with drug possession and child endangerment, according to police.

Deputies from the Crockett County Sheriff’s Department responded to Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo — about 80 miles northeast of Memphis — after a guest was reportedly bitten by a camel.

When they arrived, the deputies “were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle,” the sheriff’s department said.

Slaton was arrested and charged with illegal possession of schedule I and schedule VI drugs and two counts of child endangerment.

It’s unclear what drugs were allegedly in her possession.

Brian Scott Lovvorn was also in the vehicle and hit with the same charges, cops said.

The pair were booked at the Crockett County Jail.

No additional details were immediately available.

Slaton and her estranged husband, Michael Halterman, split up last year in a messy divorce.

Halterman requested that the court “enter a civil restraining order” that would keep both parties “500 feet from one another at all times” and make them stay “500 feet from the residence of the other party.”

Slaton and Halterman had eloped in 2017 before having a formal wedding in 2019, which was documented on the popular TLC series.

They separated less than a year after Slaton gave birth to son Glenn Allen in July 2022. Her other son, Gage, was born in November 2020.

During Season 1 of “1000-Lb. Sisters,” which premiered in January 2020, Slaton weighed more than 400 pounds.

After undergoing gastric bypass surgery, she dropped an additional 136 pounds, putting her weigh-in at 275 pounds.
