Reality TV star Josh Duggar was arrested by federal agents in Arkansas on Thursday in connection to the used car dealership he once owned there, according to reports.
Duggar, 33, was being held without bail in Washington County, TMZ reported, citing law enforcement sources.
A mugshot released by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office showed Duggar looking slightly disheveled and with a smirk on his face.
It’s unclear what charges he is facing — but his arrest is related to a 2019 Homeland Security raid on his now-shuttered used car dealership in Springdale, Ark., a source told The Sun.
“The family has known that this has been coming for weeks, and Josh has been preparing himself,” the source said.
“Family members are extremely concerned by what is happening and they just want to find out the truth.”
Duggar, the eldest of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s 19 children, rose to fame on “19 Kids and Counting,” a TLC show about the family.
The show was canceled in 2015 after allegations surfaced that Duggar had molested multiple underage girls — including four of his sisters — when he was a teenager.
He issued an apology and was never charged.
Duggar also resigned from his position at the Family Research Council, a Washington DC-based Christian lobbying organization, amid the allegations.
He was hit with another scandal in 2015 after it was revealed that he used Ashley Madison, an online dating service for married people.
Duggar admitted to cheating on his wife Anna, 33, and later entered into a faith-based rehab program and attended marriage counseling.
The couple — who have been married for 12 years — are currently expecting their seventh child.
