'Buckwild' Star Salwa Amin Arrested On Drug Charges

Salwa Amin, 24, a cast member of MTV's newest reality series Buckwild, has been arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

Amin was arraigned in Nicholas County Magistrate Court in West Virginia on Monday and is being held on $200,000 bond, according to CBS News.

West Virginia State police said a multi-agency task force arrested Amin and two others late Sunday at a home in Summersville, W. Va., after receiving a tip from an informant about her drug activity. When they arrested Amin, they said they found oxycodone pills and heroin.

Amin's show, Buckwild, has come under fire for its depiction of West Virginian youth. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has called for the show to be cancelled. “As a U.S. Senator, I am repulsed at this business venture, where some Americans are making money off of the poor decisions of our youth,” Manchin wrote in a letter to MTV. “I cannot imagine that anyone who loves this country would feel proud profiting off of ‘Buckwild.’”

MTV, who has renewed Buckwild for a second season, has no comment on Amin.
