Overview
- Joseph Duggar remains in Washington County, Arkansas custody awaiting extradition to Bay County, Florida on two felony counts after his March 18 arrest.

- Investigators report they have collected physical evidence and witness statements that support the complaint tied to a 2020 trip to Panama City Beach.
- His wife, Kendra Duggar, faces eight second-degree counts in Arkansas after a welfare check found exterior door locks, and she was released on bond under a no-contact order.
- Jail records describe him in solitary confinement with limited contact and only his attorney visiting, while several siblings publicly condemned the alleged conduct and voiced support for the victim.
