- Kendra Duggar was booked on March 20 in Washington County and released the same day after posting a $1,470 bond, according to detention records.
- A source told People that a home inspection allegedly found exterior locks on doors to children’s rooms; police say the investigation is active and are withholding further details to protect minors.
