The Blast recently shared that Amy was arrested following an incident at the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo. However, the drama began before cops arrived, with EMS workers wheeling her out on a stretcher for treatment.
Pictures taken from the scene showed Amy seemingly in pain on a gurney with a piece of clothing wrapped around one arm like a makeshift tourniquet. Eyewitnesses claimed they saw walking through the parking lot with the shirt before first responders arrived to treat her.
According to authorities, the TLC star claimed she was bitten by a camel at the park. However, one of the owners, Jon Conley, vehemently denied the allegations. He stressed that the camels had never attacked anyone in their years-long operation.

Conley claimed the cut above Amy's elbow could not be linked to a camel's bite marks because the skin was fileted open, and there was no bruised tissue. He doubled down on the animal's innocence by ripping her narrative to shreds.
According to the park's co-owner, no surveillance footage backed Amy's claim, nor could she explain where the alleged incident occurred. Nonetheless, the TLC star was wheeled away to get treated before cops slammed cuffs on her.
Authorities claimed they found psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana in her car. To make matters worse, the drugs were in plain sight despite there being two minor children in the vehicle.
The TV Personality Was Arrested On Multiple Charges
The Blast noted the arrest was announced in a Facebook post uploaded by the Crockett County Sheriff's Department. They explained officers had responded to calls about a guest being bitten by a camel when they found Amy's car.
"Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest's vehicle," the statement revealed, noting Amy and a man named Brian Scott Lovvorn were arrested and booked into the Crockett County Jail on multiple charges.
The list included charges of illegal possession of schedule I, illegal possession of schedule IV, and two counts of child endangerment. Amy's arrest is under investigation, with the Sheriff's Department noting she was innocent until proven guilty.
