Duggar Brother's Wife Arrested: Joseph Faces Extradition

On March 23rd, Joseph Dugger, once a star on the reality show, 19 Kids Encouning,

sits in a jail cell at the Washington County Detention, Center in Arkansas.

He's basing extradition to Florida on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior

with a minor from an incident back in 2020.

His wife, Kendre Dugger, has also been arrested, hit with eight counts total,

including endangering the welfare of minors and false imprisonment.

Meanwhile, investigators say the Florida case involves Joseph,

interacting inappropriately with a nine-year-old girl during a family vacation.

He apologized afterward, but Florida's tough-child protection laws

mean he could face life in prison if convicted.

This news hits hard for the Dugger family, known for their conservative Christian values

and picture perfect online image as devoted parents.

It echoes troubles with Joseph's brother, Josh Dugger,

who's serving a long sentence until 2032 for child pornography convictions.

Kendre had her first court hearing this morning and is due back on April 29th at 2pm.

Both cases remain active, with Joseph still awaiting, transfer, south.

As developments unfold in this high-profile situation,

authorities continue to build their cases against the couple.
