Kendra Duggar, wife of reality tv star Joseph Duggar of ‘19 Kids and Counting’ fame, was arrested in Washington County, Arkansas, after facing charges. She was arrested on Friday before being released on bond, as per People.
Kendra and her husband Joseph were charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment, both in the second degree. Her arrest details note her as 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing 130 lbs., with blue eyes and blonde hair.
Now, Tontitown Police Department Captain Jerry Bowen has provided a key update in Kendra’s case.
Kendra Duggar: Why was she arrested?
Kendra and her husband Joseph were arrested in a case pertaining to minors. Since the victims are underage, not much more information was provided about the case.
However, the police captain said “This remains an active investigation.” Kendra has her first hearing scheduled in two days time – on March 23 at 7:45am. She will again appear in court on April 29 at 2:00pm, People reported.
Notably, this case is different from the Florida case for which Joseph Duggar was arrested. That involved molesting a nine-year-old, when on vacation at Panama City Beach in 2020.
“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,” the survivor said about the Joseph Duggar appeal. While the survivor’s current location is unknown, she is believed to be actively helping authorities in the investigation.
“The victim stated Duggar eventually apologized for his actions and the incidents stopped after the apology,” Bay County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) said in a statement.
