Josh Sanders Arrested Again, Faces New Warrants

Josh Sanders, a former "The Voice" runner-up, was arrested on Saturday, August 30, 2026, by the Kannapolis Police Department in North Carolina. He was booked into the Cabarrus County Jail, facing charges related to outstanding warrants for traffic violations and allegedly obstructing a law enforcement officer.

This arrest occurs while Sanders is involved in a heated custody battle with his estranged wife, Kendra, concerning their three children. The couple separated in January 2026, with court documents revealing Sanders's claims for custody and Kendra's allegations of his problematic behavior, including drinking and driving with their children.

Kendra also accused Sanders of exhibiting violent tendencies in front of the children and negatively impacting his music career due to alleged alcohol issues. Sanders has refuted these claims, accusing his wife of hindering his relationship with their children. The recent arrest introduces further legal complications to the ongoing custody proceedings.
