At the time, authorities were first called after Amy , 36, claimed that a camel had bitten her at West Tennesse Safari Park.
Once police arrived, they encountered an overwhelming smell once they were close enough to Amy and Brian’s car.
In arrest warrants exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, Amy was booked for having magic mushrooms and 80 grams of marijuana in the vehicle.
While at the zoo, two children under the age of 8 were also present when Amy and Brian were arrested.
The two kids were picked up by a relative at the time of the arrest.
The two were charged with illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule IV, and two counts of child endangerment.
The U.S. Sun can confirm that Amy has a court date and will be arraigned on the charges on September 5.

NO CAMEL BITES HERE
In a photo obtained by TMZ , Amy was photographed looking in pain while lying on a gurney with a product around her arm.
Witnesses told the news outlet that she used a T-shirt around her arm.
However, Jon Conley, co-owner of the zoo, told TMZ that there was no security footage of the incident and no one had ever been bitten by a camel on the property.
In a statement to The U.S. Sun , co-owner Claude Conley said, “We dispute that Amy was bitten by a camel because there is no bruising.
“She cut her arm on something, it’s not consistent with an animal bite.
“Her boyfriend or the man she was with was acting crazy, screaming and yelling and all kinds of stuff.
He got mad that the police came out there because he just wanted the ambulance to come,” Claude said.
Amy Slaton's Arrest
The 1000-Lb. Sisters star was booked into Crockett County Jail in Tennessee on Monday, September 2.
The TLC star spent her Labor Day at Tennessee Safari Park with her friend Brian Lovvorn and two small children.
The drive-through park allows people to feed the zoo animals from their cars.
A staffer at the zoo called 911, claiming Amy had been bitten by a camel and was bleeding.
Police arrived on the scene, where Amy said she was bit and was taken away on a stretcher.
Authorities were immediately met with an overwhelming odor from Amy and Brian’s car.
They discovered marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms inside the vehicle.
Amy and Brian were each arrested and charged with drug possession and child endangerment.
They were booked into Crockett County Jail and were released soon after on a $10,000 bond each.
Tennessee Safari Park co-owner Claude Conley refuted the claims that Amy had ever been bit.
‘I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!’
Once fans found out about Amy’s arrest, they flocked to X to share their devastation.
“This is traumatizing news to be as a 1000-Lb. Sisters stan!” one wrote.
Another said, “Oh Amy, I was rooting for you.”
“The next season is about to go crazy,” stated a third.
Someone else shared on Facebook , “This was not on my 2024 bingo card.”
A fifth replied, “Tammy!! Girl, come get your sister!”
SISTER’S RESPONSE
Fans weren’t the only ones seemingly reacting to the arrest news.
In a 2019 post, a message was shared on the Midnight Mom Devotional Facebook group where they were praying for “momma.”
“Tonight we pray for the momma who needs to know it’s all going to be okay.
“Lord, she has so many situations where she needs You to intervene, but she has one thing that often comes to the surface of her heart and causes her to question if it really is going to be alright,” the post read.
While Amanda has remained close with her two sisters Amy and Tammy and made her first appearance on 1000-Lb. Sisters during Season 4.
