New video from the Washington County Sheriff's Office shows Kendra Duggar's booking process following her arrest on four counts each of second-degree child endangerment and false imprisonment in Arkansas. The charges, unrelated to husband Joseph's recent Florida molestation arrest, arose from a home welfare check revealing exterior door locks.

Kendra Duggar, 27, was arrested on March 20, 2026, by Tonitown Police in Arkansas on eight misdemeanor counts: four of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and four of second-degree false imprisonment. She posted $1,470 bond and was released the same day from the Washington County Detention Center.

Video released by the sheriff's office depicts Duggar sitting on a bench, being patted down, having her teeth checked, removing her shoes, and being led away with hands behind her back.

The arrest followed a home visit prompted by Joseph Duggar's March 19 arrest in Arkansas on unrelated Florida charges of lewd and lascivious behavior with a minor from a 2020 family vacation. Joseph faces identical Arkansas charges. A source told Us Weekly the home study found two rooms with locks on the outside of the doors, leading to the endangerment and false imprisonment charges.

A Duggar spokesperson told People the charges are 'totally unrelated' to Joseph's Florida case and that Kendra is not accused of participating in it. The couple, known from TLC's '19 Kids and Counting,' share four children, who were removed following the arrests.

This follows prior coverage of the initial arrests and family reactions (see series).
