Kendra Duggar’s mugshot surfaced following her arrest on criminal charges.
According to a press release from the Tontitown Police Department on Friday, March 20, both Kendra, 27, and her husband, Joseph Duggar, are charged with 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 obtained by Us Weekly on Friday, Kendra appears expressionless, with her hair down, tucked behind her ears, and somewhat messy. She is dressed in a brown shirt.
Us confirmed that Kendra was detained at Arkansas’ Washington County Detention Center after a warrant was issued 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 and was paid prior to her release on Friday. Kendra is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, March 23, as confirmed by Us.
Kendra’s arrest occurred two days following allegations against her husband, Joseph, for molesting a 9-year-old girl in 2020, which led to his detention.
Us confirmed that Joseph, 31, was taken into custody on Wednesday, March 18, around 3 p.m. by the Tontitown Police Department in Arkansas.
The Bay County Sheriff’s Office has charged Joseph with two offenses: lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim under 12 years old, and lewd and lascivious behavior by an adult.
A 14-year-old accused Joseph of sexually abusing her during a family vacation to Panama City Beach in 2020. The alleged victim was 9 years old at the time of the incident.
“The victim reported Duggar repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap,” the Bay County police stated. “As the vacation continued, he also encouraged her to sit next to him on a couch, covering them with a blanket. During this period, Duggar allegedly manipulated her underwear and touched her genitals. He also continued to rub his hands on her thighs.”
Joseph appeared in court on Friday via Zoom to discuss his extradition to Florida. He did not submit a plea and waived his right to an extradition hearing, agreeing to be transferred to Florida to face the charges.
Joseph Duggar, a former Counting On star, shared a series of Instagram messages celebrating his family four years before his arrest for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old. Joseph, 31, and his wife, Kendra Duggar, launched a family Instagram account in February 2019 but stopped updating it in November 2021. Their final post was published […]
Before Joseph’s arrest, his older brother Josh Duggar was convicted of child pornography and sentenced to 151 months in federal prison in December 2021.
Joseph and Kendra have led a relatively quiet life since marrying in September 2017.
Following the conclusion of 19 Kids and Counting’s spinoff Counting On in 2020, the couple focused on raising their four children: Garrett David, Addison Renee, Brooklyn Praise, and Justus Joseph, born in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022 respectively.
Joseph and Kendra have not made any public statements regarding the situation.
