The man who allowed Josh Duggar to walk away after confessing to fondling minor females in his family's home is now the subject of an official police investigation, Breaking Celebrity News can reveal.

Former state trooper Joseph Hutchens allegedly gave an interview to a news outlet last week— but without the approval of the Department of Corrections, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette reports.

"The Arkansas Department of Correction has denied all media requests for interviews with inmate Joseph Hutchens," the department said in a statement.
