TLC star Josh Duggar arrested on federal charges
By Joseph Choi - 04/29/21 06:31 PM EDT Josh Duggar, the former star of the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting," was arrested by federal authorities on Thursday.
The website for the Washington County Sheriff's office shows that Duggar was arrested on Thursday and was booked around 1 p.m. He is being held without bail, according to the website.
The records shows that Duggar was arrested by U.S. Marshals, meaning the nature of arrest was federal and not state related. It is unclear what charges Duggar was arrested under.
The Hill has reached out to U.S. Marshals Service as well as the Washington County Sheriff's office for further information.
Fox News notes that the car dealership where Duggar worked was raided in 2019 in connection to a federal investigation, though it was not known what the investigation was looking into. It is unclear if the investigation and Duggar's arrest are connected.
