Amy Slaton Halterman, one of the 2 sisters featured on TLC's "1,000-Lb Sisters" was arrested at a Tennessee zoo this week. She's since been charged with drug possession and child endangerment.

The popular show follows sisters, Amy and Tammy Slaton, as they seek to lose weight together. At one point, the sisters weighed a combined 1,000lbs (hence the name of the show). "1,000-Lb Sisters" is seen on TLC. TLC is The Learning Channel and it looks like Amy is going to be learning her lesson the hard way.

Why Was Amy Slaton From '1,000-Lb Sisters' Arrested?

The incident happened at Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo, Tennessee which is roughly 80 miles northeast of Memphis. It all started when deputies from the Crockett County Sheriff's Department were alerted to a guest allegedly being bit by a camel. It sounds like the person who called about being bit was Amy Slaton Halterman, star of TLC's "1,000-Lb Sisters."

However, when police arrived they reportedly were overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest's vehicle, per Crockett County Sheriff's Department on Facebook. Halterman was then arrested for illegal possession of Schedule 1 drugs, illegal possession of Schedule VI drugs, and 2 counts of child endangerment. Brian Scott Lovvom was also in the vehicle and is now facing the same charges, per The New York Post. It remains unclear what the drugs in their possession were. You can see Amy's mugshot below.

It's been a rough couple of years for Amy Slaton Halterman. She and her husband, Michael Halterman, went through a messy public divorce last year that included a requested restraining order. The pair's wedding was documented on the popular TLC show. They have two sons together, Gage, who was born in November 2020, and Glenn Allen, who was born in July 2022. Less than a year after Glenn Allen was born the two separated, per The New York Post.

Amy is no stranger to having her troubles documented, only this is a different kind of issue than we're used to seeing her deal with. When "1,000-Lb Sisters" debuted on TLC back in 2020, she reportedly weighed more than 400 pounds. She has since going through gastric bypass surgery and lost some weight and now weighs in at around 275 pounds, per The New York Post. There isn't a lot more information publicly available about the arrest and its circumstances right now. Hopefully, she gets the help she needs.

5 Of The Greatest TV Couples Of All-Time

Love is in the air! Whether you are spending Valentine's Day out with a loved one, or spending the night in by yourself, chances are you're going to watch some TV. Maybe it'll be your favorite love movie. Or, maybe it'll be a special Valentine's Day episode of your favorite TV show. To celebrate the day of love, here are 5 of the greatest TV couples of all-time.

Of course, there have been many notable couples on the small screen over the years. However, these are some of my favorites. See who made the list below! Missing your favorite? Let us know!

5 Of The Greatest TV Couples Of All-Time

First, let me say it was tough narrowing this list down to only 5. On Dave & Chuck The Freak, we enjoy talking about popular shows. At least the ones we like. There have been so many good couples on TV over the years, it's hard to pick just 5 of the greatest TV couples ever. However, I was able to pull it off.

Of course, narrowing it down to just 5 means some of our favorite couples didn't make the cut. That's not fair. For example, I love Phil and Claire Dunphy. I think they could be the modern it couple. Every dad wants to be Phil. Claire is also a great mom and super relatable in many ways. They're both hilarious and make a great pair. Unfortunately, they didn't make the Top 5. They probably would have made the Top 10, though!

Also, I'll admit the list may be a little bias. While I enjoy watching as many TV shows as I can, and I have seen an impressive number, good and bad. However, I can't watch everything. There have been some big shows over the years that have been insanely popular that I never ended up watching. Seriously, some of the biggest shows ever, I'm afraid to admit it.

So, I only considered couples from shows I was familiar with and had an impact on me, personally. Chances are I left out some of your favorites. Make sure to let us know who we missed! Check out the list of 5 of the greatest TV couples of all-time below!

Jim and Pam - The Office

You can't talk about the greatest TV couples of all-time without talking about Jim and Pam. They brought back the will they won't they and captured the heart of America before they ended up getting married. Their wedding was one of the best TV has seen, too. So many great moments. Jim and Pam could be the greatest TV couple of all-time.

Ross and Rachel - Friends

Anybody who has ever been on a break has felt their pain. Things weren't always great and pretty between the two, but they always came back around. The story was always worth following and they sucked you in. You were always rooting for them to get back together. They're definitely one of the best TV couples of all-time.

Marshall and Lily - How I Met Your Mother

I loved the show. Were they my favorite? No. Were they the perfect couple? No. However, they proved they love each other through thick and thin. They had fun together. I think that's important!

Eric and Donna - That 70s Show

Selfishly, I had to include Eric and Donna on the list. Growing up, they were the couple I wanted to be. Their relationship seemed legit. They could count on each other. The two of them were always there for each other. Ah, young love. Sure, Kelso and Jackie were a more entertaining couple, but there was something special about Eric and Donna.

Lucy and Ricky - I Love Lucy

Had to include a throwback. Simply can't talk about the best TV couples of all-time without talking about Lucy and Ricky. They were nothing short of iconic. Even today they remain iconic. That's hard to pull off! Their love has lasted over the decades.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
