However, the woman was eventually arrested on charges of drug possession and child endangerment.
Slayton arrived at the zoo with her two children, ages 2 and 4. Police found herbal drugs in plain sight in her car. After receiving first aid at the hospital, she was taken to the police station.
At the same time, one of the zoo owners Tom Conley She said it was impossible for her to have been bitten by one of the local camels; the cut above her elbow does not indicate a camel bite, because the skin was cut and there was no bruising. Slayton was also unable to explain exactly where in the safari park she was bitten. Zoo staff were unable to find a clip of the incident on CCTV footage.
