Counting On: Josh Duggar Arrested
On Thursday, April 29, Josh Duggar was arrested by the United States Marshals Service. The Counting On alum was booked into jail in Washington County, Arkansas, where he is now being held without bond.
Josh's mugshot was released shortly after the arrest. In it, the former reality star can be seen posing with a slight smirk on his face.
It is not clear what charges he's currently facing as online jail records do not indicate other details about his arrest. As of this writing, representatives for Josh have yet to address the issue.
Josh's Legal Dispute
This isn't the first time Josh Duggar deals with some legal issues. In the past, the Counting On star faced a molestation scandal, which involved his sisters, Jill and Jessa Duggar. They later stepped forward and broke their silence about the controversy.
A police report back in 2006 revealed that Josh was investigated as a teen for fondling five underage girls, his two sisters included. In 2015, he admitted his "wrongdoing" and apologized for it. He was never charged.
In 2019, the car dealership where the Counting On star works was raided by Homeland Security in connection to an "ongoing federal investigation." Josh's current legal dispute prior to his latest arrest is a civil lawsuit filed against him for real estate fraud.
Counting On Star's Criminal History
Meanwhile, Derek and Jill Dillard were the first to react to Josh Duggar's current arrest. "We just learned this information," the Counting On couple said. "It is very sad." Other family members have yet to make a statement about the issue.
Last week, Josh and his wife, Anna Duggar, confirmed that they are pregnant with their seventh child together. The couple took to Instagram and shared an adorable baby gender reveal. They're having a baby girl this fall.
Josh and Anna Duggar have been married since 2008. They already have six children — Mackynzie Renée, Michael James, Marcus Anthony, Meredith Grace, Mason Garrett, and Maryella Hope.
