Buckwild cast member facing drug charges back in W.Va. jail after violating terms of release

FLATWOODS, W.Va. – A “Buckwild” cast member is back behind bars in West Virginia.

A judge ordered 24-year-old Salwa Amin back to Central Regional Jail on Wednesday after violating the terms of her previous release.

Amin was charged last month with two counts of drug possession with intent to deliver and initially jailed on $200,000 bond. Defence attorney Michael Callaghan got that reduced to $100,000. She’s now being held without bond.

Callaghan didn’t immediately return messages Wednesday, but a jail official says a warrant shows Amin violated the release conditions by failing to appear in court.

“Buckwild” shows wild young West Virginians. It has drawn criticism for what some see as a negative portrayal of the state’s youth.
