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’d take caution on this. !4 year old girl? At that age their hormones began peaking up and some psycho females will say anything to get back at someone for perceived retribution. It would be convenient if she could smear someone with slime from other members of the family.
If your family has a compound, there might be bad mischief afoot.
It happened when the child was 9 years old. She just now reported it. The child is his sister in law.
They are not Mormon. They are wacky evangelicals. Weird family beliefs from 1950’s. No kissing until the wedding day. Woman must submit to the husband. Woman must bear a lot of children.
> I just don’t get molesting children. I mean, their CHILDREN!
Been trying to wrap my head around it as well. At the time Joseph was a 25-year old man married to an attractive woman and he somehow was interested in a 9-year-old.
It means weirdos
You mean, sickos.
Not all fundamental Baptists are Independent. Ours was affiliated with GARBC - so not Independent.
Fundamental Baptists aren’t all strict KJV. After moving to TN, we had trouble finding a KJV-only Baptist Church.
Some SBC churches are fundamental.
Baptists do pre-date the Reformation, so are not Protestant.
This whacked-out family is an anomaly.
You know a LITTLE about Baptists, but making rash generalizations really isn’t fair.
If that’s true, then the family isn’t Baptist.
I admit I don't have much personal experience with them, but the most of the info I got was from a page of theirs that outlines their basic beliefs.
Sadly the whole family were likely diddling each from the start. Just a continuation of what they’ve done all their whole lives.Tragic.
Good old Quiverfull Baptists.
I never heard of the Duggar family either. But it seems every other week one of their names ends up for some kind of child predation. I will wait for a court of law to convict before I pass judgement, but Geesh.
Now do Biden.
