FROM FEEDING A CAMEL TO THE SLAMMER

ALAMO, TN - September 2, 2024 - 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.

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.

Brian Scott Lovvorn was in the vehicle as well and is facing the same charges.

Both subjects have been booked into the Crockett County Jail.

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.
