Reality television star Jana Duggar has pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a minor in the third degree, according to court records on file in the Elm Springs Department of the Washington County District Court in Arkansas.
The Dec. 15 plea disposed of the case by way of an $880 payment, the records indicate. The $880 was divided into a $650 fine, $100 in costs, $100 for a Child Victim Crime Fee, a $20 county jail fee, and another $10 jail fee for the City of Tontitown, Ark.
The case was filed Sept. 10, 2021, the court records indicate. Duggar initially pleaded not guilty on Sept. 23. A hearing scheduled for Oct. 10 was punted to Jan. 10, 2022, when a bench trial was scheduled. That trial was cancelled as a result of the plea; a hearing was set for Dec. 6, 2022 to keep the case “under advisement.”
