1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton pleads guilty after being arrested at zoo when police noticed 'suspicious odour'

1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton pleads guilty after being arrested at zoo when police noticed 'suspicious odour'

Amy Slaton was arrested on charges of illegal possession of schedule I and schedule VI drugs, and two counts of child endangerment

US reality star Amy Slaton has pleaded guilty following her arrest at a safari park earlier this year.

The 1000-lb Sisters star was apprehended by officers along with a mystery male back in September, with officers having a 'suspicious odour' coming from her car after being called to the scene.

Police were called on 2 September when TLC star Slaton claimed to sustain an injury whilst attending Tennessee Safari Park Zoo.

She'd allegedly being bitten by a camel - although, the animal park's owner Claude Conley later told press that the placement of her injury [at the 'top of her arm'] is inconsistent with a bite from this type of animal.

After officers turned up to the scene, however - according to a statement previously released by the local sheriff's department - they were immediately met with a strong and unusual odour coming from Slaton's vehicle.

An adult male and two children were in the car at the time.

After inspecting the vehicle, Slaton and the mystery man were immediately arrested, with the pair being transported to Crockett County Jail before being seen leaving - 'hand in hand', according to People - having paid a $10,000 bond

Her sister and co-star Tammy Slaton is said to have collected the two children, who are thought to have been her two sons, Gage, four, and Glenn, two - both of whom she shares with estranged husband Michael Halterman.

It was later reported that she'd been in possession of marijuana and illegal mushrooms at the time, both of which were in 'plain sight' in the vehicle.

Amy is yet to address the incident herself, despite returning to social media in the weeks that followed to share a photo of her two kids on Halloween.

The mother-of-two has now pled guilty to several charges, according to court documents obtained by E! News.

Despite having been arrested on charges of illegal possession of schedule I and schedule VI, as well as two counts of child endangerment, Slaton is only being charged with simply possession, as part of a plea deal submitted to the Crockett County courthouse.

Charges of child abuse and child endangerment against the star have since been dismissed.

Action News 5, who reported live from the Tennessee courtroom, wrote that judge Paul Conley sentenced both Slaton and a Brian Scott Lovvorn - the man in the vehicle she was arrested with - to two years of supervised probation.

This means that star won't actually spend any time behind bars.

She will, however, have to pay a $1,000 fine, and attend an alcohol and drug assessment, and won't be permitted to visit Tennessee Safari Park Zoo ever again.
