Kendra Duggar Arrest Footage Released As Sources Reveal DEEPLY Concerning Reason For Charges!
[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
Kendra Duggar‘s arrest footage has been released!
As Perezcious readers know, last week, her husband Joseph Duggar was arrested and charged for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old in Florida back in 2020.
But shortly after, he was slapped with more charges — and his wife was taken into custody. They were each 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. These charges come from the Tontitown Police Department in Arkansas.

On Monday, Page Six obtained footage of Kendra being booked into Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville. In the video, she sits on a bench next to another person awaiting instructions. She’s then taken to a side of the room where she puts her hands on the wall, and an official gives her a pat-down. Next, her teeth are examined before another official says:
“Are we done with her?”
She then takes off her shoes and heads to another room with her hands behind her back. Watch it HERE.
Kendra’s arrest was certainly shocking after Joseph’s horrific charges. But unlike him, she was already released from jail after posting a $1,470 bond just hours after her arrest.
As for what these charges relate to, sources insisted to Us Weekly that they have nothing to do with the 19 Kids and Counting star’s Florida accusations. Instead — and not at all reassuring — they’re allegedly the result of a home investigation. An insider with knowledge of the case claimed:
“Kendra’s arrest has nothing to do with Joseph’s — although one precipitated another. After his charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there. They came to her house.”
Kendra and Joseph share four kids, and when law enforcement showed up for the home inspection, they found the children were allegedly being kept in concerning conditions:
“Apparently, they had two rooms where the lock of the doorknob was on the outside instead of inside. They arrested her and took her kids for that, saying it’s evidence that she wrongly detains her kids.”
Another source close to the investigation told People that the locks were found on the “doors of rooms where the children would be.” That’s terrible.
A spokesperson for the famous family confirmed to Us Weekly that her charges were unrelated to Joseph’s molestation arrest, noting she’s facing “a misdemeanor charge totally unrelated to the Florida case.” The outlet’s source similarly noted:
“It is ridiculous as the media reports imply she’s involved in Joseph’s alleged crime. Totally unrelated and a harsh response.”
The spokesperson furthered with People:
“She’s not suspected or accused of participating in his alleged crime.”
If they are convicted for these Arkansas charges, they each face up to 8 years behind bars and thousands in fines.
We hope the kids are OK amid all of this. Thoughts? Share them (below).
