There has been no report as to what sparked the argument that led to cops being dispatched to the Alabama gas station.

Shannon came to fame in 2012 on the reality series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. She later appeared in the spinoff series Mama June: From Not To Hot, which spotlighted a makeover that included losing 300 pounds after gastric sleeve surgery. Season three premiered Friday.
