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.

I never heard of these people or this show but now the whole family is arrested and for child molestation? They had a show about a family and kids?
I just don’t get molesting children. I mean, their CHILDREN! Those little innocent faces and these people expose them to ugly activity. It’s soooo rotten, depraved.
Quiverfull family values.

They were/are famous. That two reality shows. Jim Bob ran and got into public office in Arkansas please don’t ask me what. They are in some religious cult that is off the wall.
Honestly, I knew this was coming and I’m waiting for the next son to get busted.

Baptiste, not mormon.

I don’t believe they were Baptists.
I was wrong...they are Fundamentalist Baptists. Whatever that means.
Nor have I.
That means they are Mormons that drink coffee
It means weirdos
Except Fundamental Baptists will loudly and consistently assert that Joseph Smith was a false prophet.
Probably Fundamental Baptists. They are fundamentalist KJV-onliers and hold to Dispensational Millennialism. They are sometimes called Independent Baptists because they do not affiliate with other churches, even other Baptists. They are opposed to Catholicism and Pentalcostalism/Charismatic movement.
Many IFBs adhere to some form of "Baptist successionism" (or Baptist perpetuity), the belief that Baptists trace their origins through a lineage of Christians dating back to the Apostles with medieval groups cited as pre-Reformation representatives of Baptist principles. Thus, as a consequence IFBs tend to view themselves as distinct from Protestantism.
Not Baptist or Mormon, IBLP:

Another wacky fundamentalist sect whose theology is a mile wide but only an inch deep.
