1000-Lb. Sisters star Amy Slaton has plead guilty to ‘simple possession’ drug charges and signed a plea deal.
The 37-year-old reality star was arrested at a Tennessee zoo back in September after she called them herself for a camel bite, though they discovered marijuana and mushrooms in her vehicle.
She pleaded guilty in a plea deal submitted to the Crockett County courthouse in Tennessee on Thursday, according to US Weekly.
Slaton received a suspended sentence of 11 months and 29 days to time served, and she won’t spend any time behind bars.
The reality star was also ordered to pay a $500 fine and attend an alcohol and drug assessment, and she was forbidden from contacting Tennessee Safari Park.
The filing added that her additional charges of child abuse and child endangerment were dismissed.

The Crockett County Sheriff’s statement from September revealed, ‘Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle.
Slaton was then taken to the ER to receive treatment for the camel bite, before she was taken into custody.
After the police investigation, Slaton was charged with, ‘llegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule VI, and two counts of child endangerment.’
The child endangerment charges came from the fact that her two children, sons Gage, 4, and Glenn, 2, were in the car where the suspicious smells came from.
Slaton shares the children with her ex Michael Halterman, though she was arrested with a man named Brian Scott Lovvorn.
The Department of Children and Family Services was involved in the case after Slaton’s arrest to see if the children were in any danger.
Slaton and Lovvorn both initially pled not guilty drug possession and child endangerment charges, though Slaton has since pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.
She also surprised fans when she went to a court hearing and appeared to be engaged, with a ring on her left ring finger.

She was seen holding hands with Brian Scott Lovvorn, her friend who was arrested with her, as they were released from police custody. Whether or not they are indeed dating has yet to be confirmed.
Slaton has dated two men since finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Michael Halterman last year – Tony Rodgers and Kevin.
Slaton and Halterman share two children and had reportedly clashed over their appearance on the TLC reality show.
The pair welcomed their first child, Gage Deon, in November 2020 and their second son, Glenn Allen, in July 2022.
