Kendra Duggar’s mugshot was revealed shortly after she was arrested on criminal charges.
A press release from the Tontitown Police Department on Friday, March 20, stated that both Kendra, 27, and her husband, Joseph Duggar, are facing four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree, and four counts of false imprisonment in the second degree.
In the mugshot of Kendra obtained by Us Weekly on Friday, she is staring blankly into the camera. Her hair is down, tucked behind her ears and a bit disheveled. She wore a brown shirt.
Us confirmed that Kendra was taken into custody in Arkansas’ Washington County Detention Center after police issued a warrant for her arrest. She was booked at 4:56 p.m. and released at 6:19 p.m.
Her bond was set at $1,470, which was paid before her release on Friday. Kendra is due in court on Monday, March 23, Us can confirm.
Kendra was arrested two days after her husband, Joseph, was accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl in 2020 and taken into custody.
Us confirmed that Joseph, 31, was arrested on Wednesday, March 18, at approximately 3 p.m. by the Tontitown Police Department in Arkansas.
According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, there are two charges against Joseph. The first, lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old. The second is lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older.
Joseph was accused by a 14-year-old of allegedly sexually abusing her during a family vacation in 2020 to Panama City Beach. The alleged victim was 9 years old when she said the assault took place.
“The victim reported Duggar repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap,” Bay County police shared in a statement at the time. “As the vacation continued, he also asked her to sit next to him on a couch and covered them with a blanket. During this time, Duggar manipulated the victim’s underwear and grazed her genitals. Duggar would also continue to rub his hands on her thighs.”
Joseph appeared in court on Friday via Zoom to address his extradition to Florida. The former 19 Kids and Counting star did not enter a plea and waived his right to an extradition hearing, which means that he agreed to be transferred to Florida to face charges.
Years before Joseph’s arrest, his older brother Josh Duggar was convicted of child pornography. He was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison in December 2021.
Joseph and Kendra have lived a somewhat quiet life since tying the knot in September 2017.
After 19 Kids and Counting’s spinoff Counting On ended in 2020, the couple focused on raising their four children. Joseph and Kendra share Garrett David, Addison Renee, Brooklyn Praise and Justus Joseph, born in 2018, 2019, 2021 2022, respectively.
Neither Joseph nor Kendra have released a public statement.
