1000-Lb. Sisters star was arrested at a Tennessee zoo over the holiday weekend.

The Crockett County Sheriff’s Department confirmed via Facebook that Slaton, 36, was taken into custody on Monday, September 2, after police responded to a call about a guest being bit by a camel at a local zoo. “Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle,” the police wrote in the social media statement.

According to the post, Slaton was arrested on “illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule VI, and two counts of child endangerment.” The statement did not confirm whether Slaton’s kids Gage, 4, and Glenn, 2 — whom she shares with her ex-husband, — were the kids present at the time of the arrest.
