‘19 Kids and Counting’ Star and Conservative Activist Josh Duggar Pleads Not Guilty to Still-Unknown Charges Adam Klasfeld Former conservative activist and “ 19 Kids and Counting” star Josh Duggar pleaded not guilty in federal court on Friday to charges that never have been made public. On Thursday, online records revealed that the U.S. Marshals arrested Duggar in Arkansas, but there was no indication about what the alleged offense might be. The 6’0″ tall, 33-year-old, 238-pound reality TV star wore prison attire during court proceedings conducted on Friday via Zoom. Duggar waived his right to appear in person in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. He was booked into the Washington County Jail in Fayetteville, Ark., at 1:14 p.m. on Thursday evening. A jail records entry disclosed only that he was “on hold for other department.” Though the “other department” was listed as the federal government, the Bureau of Prisons had no entry for Duggar by press time. No bond amount was listed.
