"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. Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest's vehicle," the statement said.

An investigation at the scene revealed that Halterman was in possession of an illegal substance and was also facing charges of child endangerment.

"Amy Slaton Halterman, '1,000-Lb. Sisters' reality TV star, was arrested on illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule VI, and two counts of child endangerment," the statement continued. "Brian Scott Lovvorn was in the vehicle as well and is facing the same charges."

The Crockett County Sheriff's Department noted that Halterman and Lovvorn were booked into the Crockett County jail.

The charges and allegations referenced in the statement are merely accusations and not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law.

Halterman's arrest has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of her children. She is the mother of four sons, including Gage Deon Halterman, 4, and Glenn Allen Halterman, 2. It is unclear if her children were present at the safari park at the time of her arrest.

Halterman has had a tumultuous personal life in recent years. In March 2023, her ex-husband, Michael Halterman, filed for divorce.
