She is being held at the Central Regional Jail on $200,000 bond.

A multi-agency task force arrested Salwa Amin and two others at a home in Summersville after receiving a tip from an informant.

Officers say they found oxycodone pills and heroin.

Jail Administrative Sgt. Rick Drake says Salwa Amin doesn’t want to talk to the media.

MTV spokeswoman Candice Ashton says the network doesn’t have any comment.

Buckwild reality show features wild young West Virginians.

The show has drawn criticism for what some see as a negative portrayal of the state’s youth.
