The wife of "19 Kids and Counting" star Joseph Garrett Duggar will be charged alongside her husband after he was arrested in Arkansas and accused of molesting a child in Florida.
Both Joseph Duggar, 31, and Kendra Duggar, 27, have been charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child and four counts of false imprisonment in Arkansas, the Tontitown Police Department announced on Friday, March 20.
Police issued a warrant for Kendra's arrest as Joseph remains held without bail at the Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, but is expected to be extradited to Florida to face his charge there.
The former reality star, who was the seventh-oldest of 19 children on the TLC series, was arrested on Wednesday, March 18 and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving sexual activity with a 14-year-old female victim who was nine at the time of the alleged incident, according to the Bay County Sheriff's Office in Florida.
USA TODAY could not determine an attorney representing Joseph or Kendra Duggar by the time of publication and has reached out to the Duggar family and the Washington County Sheriff's Office for comment.
