Heavy Reality TV Star Taken to the Zoo For Medical Treatment

Amy Slaton, star of the TLC reality show 1000-lb Sisters, was arrested on Labor Day on drug and child endangerment charges following a medical incident at an Alamo, Tennessee, safari park.

The 36-year-old was reportedly bitten by a camel and required medical attention. Photos showed her being wheeled out of the park on a stretcher, looking visibly distressed. The nature of her camel bite injury remains unclear.

When police arrived at the scene, they noticed “suspicious odors” coming from Slaton’s vehicle. A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of what authorities believed to be mushrooms and marijuana. The drugs were reportedly found in plain sight.

Slaton was taken into custody and faces charges related to drug possession and child endangerment. The specific details of the child endangerment charges have not been released.
