Joseph Duggar's Whereabouts Unknown as Officials Decline to Comment 3 Days After His Release From Arkansas Jail
Key Points:
- Joseph Duggar was released from custody in Arkansas on March 27 after waiving his right to extradition to Florida, where he faces two felony counts of lewd and lascivious behavior related to allegations of sexually abusing a 9-year-old girl during a 2020 family vacation.
- The Bay County Sheriff's Office in Florida has not confirmed if Joseph is currently in their custody, and formal charges have yet to be filed by prosecutors in that jurisdiction.
- Joseph and his wife Kendra Duggar are also facing unrelated misdemeanor charges in Arkansas for false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child, with Kendra out on bail and both scheduled for an April 29 court appearance.
- Joseph, known for his appearances on the Duggar family’s TLC reality series, has been married to Kendra since 2017 and is a father of four; the family’s show was canceled in 2021 following the conviction of his older brother Josh Duggar on child pornography charges.
