    Amy , 36, and Brian were taken into custody at West Tennessee Safari Park on Monday afternoon, according to local CBS affiliate WREG .

    Police said they responded to reports that a camel bit a guest.

    According to the Crockett County Sheriff’s Department, Amy and Brian were feeding camels from their car at the park when one of them, or someone in their party, was bit, prompting a call to cops.

    Upon arrival, police claimed they were “immediately” inundated with a suspicious smell coming from Amy and Brian’s vehicle.

    Authorities searched the car and allegedly found drugs inside.

    Amy and Brian were each arrested and charged with illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule IV, and two counts of child endangerment.

    The pair have been booked into the Crockett County Jail.

    It’s unclear what drugs were found in Amy and Brian’s car.

    The U.S. Sun can confirm Amy is still in custody, and will be arraigned on the charges on Thursday, September 5.

    WAIT, WHAT?

    Fans reacted to the news of Amy’s arrest on Facebook in the comments, with many stunned.

    “What in the mayo sammich with a side of banjo music is going on here?!” questioned one viewer.

    “This was not on my 2024 bingo card,” penned a second.

    “Tammy!! Girl, come get your sister!” demanded another.

    “Woahhhh…my mouth just dropped. Ain’t no way, ain’t no way !!” a fourth reacted with.

    “WTH is going on with folks in Crockett County these days?? We did some questionable things back in the day but we have nothing on this current generation,” questioned a fifth.

    “I’m finna go bail her out. How much is it,” joked a sixth TLC fan.

    “Is it too much to ask for body cam footage,” mocked a seventh.

    Other commenters referenced Amy’s contentious relationship with her ex-husband, Michael Halterman.

    “Guess Michael didn’t get custody. Hope he does now,” penned one concerned fan.

    CALLING IT QUITS

    Amy and Michael finalized their divorce on September 6, 2023, the U.S Sun exclusively reported in October of that year.

    Michael filed for dissolution of marriage with children against Amy in March 2023, and the pair battled it out in court for six months.

    A memo left beside the court document, obtained by The U.S. Sun, read, “Marital settlement agreement is approved and incorporated by reference as if set forth verbatim and the parties are ordered to obey the terms thereof.”

    Michael filed for divorce from Amy, but the reality star filed domestic violence claims against her former partner a month earlier, in February.

    Those charges were later dropped , however.

    After a lengthy custody battle over their two children, Gage and Glenn , Amy and Michael agreed to split custody .

    The presiding judge previously decided on March 22 that the court was required to enter a shared parenting schedule, allowing both Amy and Michael to maximize the amount of parenting time available.

    MOVING ON

    Amy introduced fans to a new man before her divorce from Michael was finalized.

    The U.S. Sun previously reported that she was dating a man named Tony who was from Battle Creek, Michigan .

    When her divorce was finalized, she and Tony had been dating for “about three months.”

    A source revealed at the time that Amy was hesitant to go public with her new romance.

    “She’s been keeping [Tony] on the down low, but he’s been living with her in Kentucky,” the insider said.

    She moved on again with a man named Kevin, whom fans had concerns about .

    Very little is known about Brian, and how he’s connected to Amy is unclear.
