Duggar family matriarch Michelle was photographed arriving to collect her daughter-in-law Kendra following her shocking March 20 arrest in Arkansas.

Kendra Duggar Was Allegedly Arrested for Detaining Her Kids

Kendra Duggar was detained shortly after her husband's arrest.
Kendra was arrested two days after her husband, Joseph Duggar, was taken into custody on Wednesday, March 18, for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl.
As OK! previously reported, a press release from the Tontitown Police Department said the couple, who share four kids, is now facing four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree as well as four counts of false imprisonment in the second degree.
"After his [Joseph's] charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there," a source told Us Weekly on Saturday, March 21. "Apparently, they had two rooms where the lock of the doorknob was on the outside instead of inside. They arrested her and took her kids for that, saying it’s evidence that she wrongly detains her kids."
Joseph Duggar Allegedly Molested a Girl on Vacation

Joseph Duggar remains in custody in Arkansas.
Joseph, 31, has been charged with molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older, it was reported on Wednesday.
The 19 Kids and Counting alum reportedly had inappropriate contact with a young girl while on vacation in Panama City, Fla., in 2020.
After initially asking the 9-year-old to sit on his lap, Joseph later "asked her to sit next to him on a couch and covered them with a blanket," the Bay County Sheriff's Office said. "During this time, Duggar manipulated the victim’s underwear and grazed her genitals."
