Salwa Amin, a member of the cast of the hit MTV show “Buckwild,” was arrested Sunday evening, along with two other people, by members of the Central West Virginia Drug Task Force.

Amin was arrested along with Shawn Booker, age 42, of Detroit, Michigan and Jason Jones, age 31, of Summersville, WV.

All three are charged with possession with intent to distribute and three counts of conspiracy.

Nicholas County Prosecutor P.K. Milam said Monday members of the task force learned from a confidential drug informant a load of drugs was coming into the area from Michigan on Sunday.

Officers staked out a home in the area and observed the vehicle with Michigan plates roll up.

Observing officers watched heavy foot traffic in and out of the home indicating drug activity and obtained a search warrant.

“When they executed the search warrant they found these three individuals in a shed outside the residence,” said Milam.

“The search resulted in a purse belonging to Salwa and oxycodone was found in her purse.  Shawn Booker was in possession of a large amount of money and inside the shed were three packages of heroin.”

Milam said they learned from one of the three there was a plan to further distribute the drugs in the area.

“The Jones subject gave a statement and indicated both Amin and Booker had travelled here for the purpose of distributing those narcotics to people in the county,” Prosecutor Milam said.

All three individuals were arraigned before a Nicholas County Magistrate Monday morning.  Bond is set for all three at $200,000 each.  They are lodged in the Central Regional Jail at Flatwoods in lieu of bond.

A preliminary hearing will be set for all three within 10-days.

Amin is one of the nine young people featured on the hit MTV series which follows their lives in and around Kanawha County and other locations in West Virginia.

The arrest comes a week after MTV announced plans for a second season for the series.
