‘1000-Lb Sisters’ Amy Slaton Regains Freedom After Posting $10,000 Bail

Amy Slaton is back on the streets; however, her freedom did not come cheap, and the situation has not been resolved.

The "1000-Lb Sisters" star was recently bailed out of jail with her male companion, Brian Scott Lovvorn, for $10,000. The pair were seen leaving authorities' domain hand in hand while avoiding the reporters waiting outside.

Amy Slaton's freedom comes days after being arrested at the Tennessee Safari Park on Monday, September 2. She and her partner were taken into custody on drug possession charges and child endangerment.

A video of Amy's release from jail just dropped onFacebook, with Action News 5 covering the situation. The news outlet revealed the TLC star regained her freedom after posting a $10,000 bail.

It is unclear who footed the bill, with the outlet noting that Amy's arrest "gained national attention" and "people as far as from California were trying to help bail her out."

Amy and her companion, Lovvorn, were shown leaving the Crockett County jail while avoiding the reporters surrounding them. The reality TV star donned a black tank top over pink camouflage shorts with a tourniquet below her elbow.

She and Lovvorn held hands as they walked to a vehicle waiting for them, with Amy moving the injured arm with ease. According to her narrative, a camel bite caused the wound, but the Tennessee Safari Park co-owner has refuted her claims.

The news outlet shared that authorities contacted the Department of Human Services following Amy's arrest on drug possession and child endangerment. In the meantime, "the kids are in the custody of a family member."

"The DHS will continue its investigation alongside Crockett County Sheriff's Department," the outlet claimed. Amy's release comes a day after fans bombarded her older sister, Tammy, with questions about her fate behind bars.

The Blast shared that the queries about Amy took over the comment section of Tammy's mental health and personal growth post, with one fan blatantly asking: "Did you bail Amy out yet?"

Another implored Tammy for updates, writing: "Gurl... what's the T on your sister??" While a fellow inquisitive fan wondered: "Is your sister ok??? I hope so."

Amy's alleged encounter with the camel occurred before her arrest, leading to EMS workers wheeling her out of the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo. Pictures taken from the scene showed her in pain with a piece of clothing wrapped around one arm like a makeshift tourniquet.

Eyewitnesses claimed they saw Amy walking through the parking lot with the shirt before first responders arrived to treat her. While she insisted a camel bite caused the injury, the park's co-owner begged to differ.

According to Jon Conley, the park's camels had never attacked anyone in their years-long operation despite having thousands of guests. He argued that the animal could not have caused the cut above Amy's elbow.

Conley claimed the wound did not resemble a camel's bite marks because the skin was fileted open, and there was no bruised tissue. He also dismissed Amy's narrative of what happened, claiming no surveillance footage backed her claim.

Although authorities initially responded to calls about an alleged camel bite, they slammed cuffs on Amy over the situation in her car. They reportedly found psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana in plain sight despite there being two kids in the vehicle.

The Blast noted the Crockett County Sheriff's Department shed more light on Amy's arrest in a Facebook post, claiming: "Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest's vehicle."

Amy and her companion, Lovvorn, were arrested on multiple charges, including illegal possession of schedule I, illegal possession of schedule IV, and two counts of child endangerment. However, these charges aren't set in stone.

Amy still has a shot of escaping the charges against her, with the Sheriff's Department stressing that she had not been convicted of any crimes. They explained that the case was still under investigation, noting:

"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," the Sheriff's Department added, implying that Amy needed to prove her innocence to be free.

Amy Slaton's arrest comes eleven months after her older sister, Tammy, was arrested on drug possession charges.
