Camel Bite Leads to Drug Bust for TV Reality Star in Crockett County

Bond has been set for a TV reality personality and a friend after a camel bite turned into a drug bust at a drive-through zoo.

Crockett County General Sessions Judge Paul Conley set the bond at $10,000 apiece for Brian Scott Lovvorn and “1,000-Lb. Sisters” star Amy Slaton Halterman.

“It was no ordinary Labor Day in Crockett County,” wrote the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook Monday.

Deputies responded to Safari Park Monday near Alamo, Tennessee, just northwest of Jackson. A guest was allegedly bitten by a camel. 

“Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle,” the sheriff’s office said. “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.”

Lovvorn was arrested on the same charges. 

Both were then booked into the Crockett County Jail.
