Amy Slaton Halterman, a star of “1,000-Lb. Sisters,” was arrested at a Tennessee zoo and charged with drug possession and endangering a child, police said.

Officers with the Crockett County Sheriff's Department responded to the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo, about 80 miles northeast of Memphis, after a guest was reportedly bitten by a camel.

When officers arrived, “they immediately noticed suspicious odors coming from the guest's vehicle,” the sheriff's department said.

Slaton and her estranged husband Michael Halterman separated in a messy divorce last year.

Halterman requested that the court issue a “civil injunction” requiring both parties to remain “500 feet apart from each other at all times” and to “stay 500 feet from the other party's residence.”

Slaton and Halterman eloped in 2017 before having an official wedding in 2019, which was documented on the popular TLC series.
