‘1000-lb. Sisters’ star arrested, charged with child endangerment

One of the stars of TLC’s “1000-lb. Sisters” has been arrested.

As WMC reports, Amy Slaton Halterman was arrested Sept. 2 in Tennessee at Tennessee Safari Park.

According to the Crockett County Sheriff’s Department, officers were called to the Safari Park after someone reported a guest was bitten by a camel.

After arriving at the vehicle of the guest, police “were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors” coming from the vehicle where Halterman, Brian Scott Lovvorn, and two children sat, WMC reported.

Both Halterman and Lovvorn were arrested and are being held at the Crockett County Jail. They are facing charges of Schedule I and Schedule VI substance possession and two counts of child endangerment.

Authorities did not provide additional information regarding an incident with the camel.

In a statement shared on the sheriff’s department Facebook page, the department wrote, “The charges and allegations referenced in this release are merely accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law.”

This is a developing report.
