‘1000-Lb Sisters’ Amy Slaton leaves zoo on stretcher after camel bite that triggered drug arrest

“1000-Lb Sisters” star Amy Slaton was transported from a Tennessee zoo on Monday, September 2, after allegedly being bitten by a camel.

The reality TV personality, 36, was seen on a stretcher leaving the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo, Tennessee, in a photo obtained by TMZ .

The pic shows Slaton with what appears to be a makeshift bandage fashioned from a piece of fabric or clothing just beneath her right elbow after allegedly being bitten by a camel at the zoo.

According to eyewitnesses who spoke to TMZ, Slaton was seen walking around the zoo’s parking lot with a shirt wrapped around her arm before EMS arrived at the scene to treat her.

As if a camel bite wasn’t bad enough, Slaton was arrested shortly after receiving medical attention when local sheriffs allegedly found psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana in her car. According to TMZ, the illicit substances were in plain sight for officers to find.

The Crockett County Sheriff’s Department commented on the incident in a statement posted to Facebook on Monday, saying, “It was no ordinary Labor Day in Crockett County.”

“Deputies were requested to respond to Safari Park where a guest allegedly was bitten by a camel,” the statement read.

“Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle.”

Slaton was booked for illegal possession of Schedule I and Schedule VI drugs and two counts of child endangerment.

Law enforcement told TMZ that the child endangerment charge was leveled against her because two kids were in the car with her when officers arrived at the scene and allegedly found the drugs.

Slaton wasn’t the only one arrested, however. A man in the car with her, Brian Scott Lovvorn, was arrested on the same charges. The pair were booked into the Crockett County Jail after Slaton was discharged from the hospital.

Slaton shares two sons with her ex-husband, Michael Halterman – three-year-old Gage and two-year-old Glenn. It is not known at this time whether Gage and Glenn were the two children with her in the car at the Safari Park.

Slaton’s ex had previously requested a restraining order against the TV star back in March 2023, when he filed for divorce . The divorce was finalized in September 2023.

As far as the camel bite goes, one of the owners of the Tennessee Safari Park — which has a drive-through and a standard walk-through zoo — contested Slaton’s allegation that she was bit by a camel at the venue.

Speaking with TMZ, Jon Conley insisted that the TLC star could not have been bitten by one of the park’s camels. Conley believes that Slaton’s injury was above the elbow and “not indicative of a camel bite, because the skin is fileted open and there’s no bruised tissue.”

Conley went on to say that of the thousands of guests the zoo draws each year, no one has ever been bitten by a camel before. He also said that the zoo hasn’t found any surveillance footage showing the alleged camel attack, and claimed Slaton was unable to identify where in the park she was supposedly bitten.
