🚨 1000-Lb Shocker! Amy Slaton BUSTED for DRUGS and Child Endangerment After Camel Attack!
The drama surrounding Amy Slaton, the newly divorced star of TLC’s 1000-Lb Sisters, has exploded! What started as a disastrous family trip to a safari park ended in a shock arrest and the temporary loss of her children!
Camel Bite Leads to Drug Bust!
The explosive events unfolded back in September 2024 at the Tennessee Safari Park. Amy, her new beau Brian Levorne, and her two young sons, Gage and Glenn Halterman, were enjoying a drive-through feeding experience when a camel bit Amy’s arm, sending her to the ER.
But the bite was just the beginning of the nightmare! According to TMZ and official police reports, responding officers were immediately “overtaken by suspicious odors” coming from Amy’s vehicle. The result? Amy and Brian were arrested on felony charges including illegal possession of Schedule I and Schedule VI drugs (marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms) and TWO counts of child endangerment, as her sons were in the car!
The couple was later released on a $10,000 bond each, but the legal drama didn’t end there.
Custody Crisis: Amy Loses Her Boys!
The Department of Children and Family Services immediately launched an investigation. Though Amy eventually entered a plea deal, which dismissed the felony charges and reduced them to simple possession, the consequences were swift and devastating.
Despite her previous 70/30 custody arrangement with ex-husband Michael Halterman, Amy temporarily lost custody of Gage and Glenn! They were placed with a relative, identified as Amanda Halterman, rather than her sister Tammy.
While fans feared Amy would lose her kids permanently, recent photos shared by Amy suggest the boys are back in her care, signaling that the difficult “wake-up call” may have prompted her to make better life choices.
Haunted House Engagement Sparks Sibling War!
In a truly bizarre twist of fate, the legal turmoil did little to slow down Amy’s fast-moving love life. The 1000-Lb Sisters episode in May 2025 revealed that Brian proposed to Amy after only five months of dating, and the setting was suitably spooky: the padded room of a haunted house!
Brian, sporting a skeleton shirt, proposed with a gothic silver band featuring skeleton fingers forming a heart.
The engagement—and their plan for a haunted house wedding—sparked fierce family confrontation. Sisters Tammy Slaton and Misty Slaton Wentworth confronted Amy, calling the relationship “too quick” and questioning her judgment given the recent drug charges.
Amy broke down in tears, viewing the intervention as her sisters being unsupportive. Meanwhile, skeptical fans worry the whirlwind romance is a case of “love bombing before the train goes horribly wrong,” urging Amy to focus on her boys and get therapy instead of rushing to the altar.
The upcoming season of 1000-Lb Sisters promises to capture every chaotic moment: from the camel attack and arrest to the intense family intervention!
