Joseph Duggar‘s wife Kendra has been arrested in Arkansas, TMZ has learned.
A warrant was issued for Kendra Friday … police went to the Duggar family compound in Washington County, Arkansas earlier Friday with a warrant for Kendra’s arrest … but she was not there.
But, now she’s been taken into custody, according to the Washington County Detention Center. She was wanted for allegedly endangering the welfare of a minor and false imprisonment.
As for Joseph, he was arrested Wednesday in Tontitown, Arkansas, and charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor … this after a now-14-year-old girl told law enforcement about several alleged incidents with Joseph that she claims occurred during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, FL in 2020 when she was 9 years old.
He’s now facing an additional 4 counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor, as well as 4 counts of second-degree false imprisonment, according to the Tontitown Police Department in Arkansas … the same charges Kendra faces there.
Police say the Duggars’ Arkansas charges are unrelated to Joseph’s Florida case, according to KARK-TV.
Joseph appeared in court via Zoom earlier Friday and waived his right to an extradition hearing … he agreed to be extradited to Florida, the state where he allegedly sexually assaulted the girl. Now authorities in Florida have 30 days to pick Joseph up from an Arkansas jail.
