FORMER 'BUCKWILD' CAST MEMBER SENTENCED TO PRISON

(01/17/2014)

A cast member on MTV's "Buckwild," a canceled reality show about kids growing up in the West Virginia countryside, could spend several years in prison. Salwa Amin, 24, of Charleston was sentenced in Nicholas County Circuit Court to one to five years in prison for dealing drugs. She will receive credit for the 192 days she has already served. Amin plead guilty, in November, to one count of conspiracy to possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Amin has faced other drug charges and has been incarcerated in Central Regional Jail. In a plea deal, Amin agreed to testify against Shawn Booker, 42, of Detroit and Jason Jones, 31, of Summersville. All were arrested in Nicholas County last year and charged with dealing heroin and oxycodone. Other members of the "Buckwild" cast have been arrested on alcohol or drug charges, and cast member Shain Gandee died.
