‘19 Kids and Counting’ star Josh Duggar arrested in Arkansas by federal agents

Former reality TV personality Josh Duggar was arrested Thursday by federal agents in Arkansas.

Josh is eldest child in the Duggar family, which was featured on TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” until the show was canceled after he admitted to sexually abusing underage girls.

The 33-year-old was arrested in Washington County in northwest Arkansas. Authorities have not revealed what he is charged with.

He is being held without bail in Washington County Jail, according to online jail records.

In 2019, federal agents raided a car dealership in northwest Arkansas where Duggar works.

He’s due to make his first court appearance Friday morning, local NBC affiliate KNWA reported.
