Some new information has emerged regarding Amy Slaton’s recent arrest.
As the celebrity gossip site previously documented, the 1,000-pound Sisters star was detained on September 2 under some rather unusual circumstances:
She was apparently bitten by a camel at a zoo in Tennessee.
Then, when authorities went to check on Slayton, they found an order in her car… and eventually discovered what appeared to be mushrooms and marijuana in the car.
Slayton was arrested for unlawful possession of a Schedule I, unlawful possession of a Schedule VI and two counts of child endangerment, according to a statement from the Sheriff’s Department.
However, here’s the thing:
Amy is not alone.
She and a man named Brian Scott Lovevaughnhe was arrested on the same charges.
We now know, thanks to a report from People magazine, that Slayton was released from jail on the afternoon of September 4th along with Brian Scott Lovvorn on a $10,000 bond.
Sources told the newspaper the pair were picked up by Amy’s brother, Chris Combs, and were seen “holding hands” leaving police custody.
That’s all the information we have on Lovvorn so far.
But apparently he and Slaton are dating.
Amy divorced Michael Halterman in late 2023 after four years of marriage and two children:
The ex-husband has sons Gage, four, and Glenn, two; Amy currently spends 70% of her time caring for the children.
However, Child Protective Services has launched an investigation because two unnamed children (strongly speculated to be Amy’s own children) were present when the reality star was arrested.
Hence the child endangerment charge.
We can’t say for sure, but it’s at least possible that Slaton will lose custody of some of his sons.
Crockett County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Stephen Sutton said last Tuesday that Slayton received on-site medical care before being taken into custody.
Additionally, TMZ posted a photo showing Amy being treated on a stretcher by Crockett County ER officials.
Sutton said the drugs were “obvious” once police searched Amy’s vehicle, which would explain why a search warrant was not needed before this arrest.
“The charges and accusations mentioned in this release are merely accusations of criminal conduct, not evidence,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a Facebook post earlier this week.
“A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law.”
