TMZ. The pic shows Slaton with what appears to be a makeshift bandage fashioned from a piece of fabric or clothing just beneath her right elbow after allegedly being bitten by a camel at the zoo.According to eyewitnesses who spoke to TMZ, Slaton was seen walking around the zoo’s parking lot with a shirt wrapped around her arm before EMS arrived at the scene to treat her.As if a camel bite wasn’t bad enough, Slaton was arrested shortly after receiving medical attention when local sheriffs allegedly found psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana in her car.

According to TMZ, the illicit substances were in plain sight for officers to find.The Crockett County Sheriff’s Department commented on the incident in a statement posted to Facebook on Monday, saying, “It was no ordinary Labor Day in Crockett County.” “Deputies were requested to respond to Safari Park where a guest allegedly was bitten by a camel,” the statement read. “Upon arrival, deputies were immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle.”Slaton was booked for illegal possession of schedule I and schedule VI drugs and 2 counts of child endangerment.Law enforcement told TMZ that the child endangerment charge was leveled against her because two kids were in the car with her when officers arrived at the scene and allegedly found the drugs.Slaton wasn’t the only one arrested, however.

A man in the car with her, Brian Scott Lovvorn, was arrested on the same charges. The pair were booked into the Crockett County Jail after Slaton was discharged from the hospital.Slaton shares two sons with her ex-husband, Michael Halterman – three-year-old Gage and two-year-old Glenn.
