Joy-Anna Duggar is hiding a sleazy secret — her brother-in-law was busted for making a terrifying bomb threat!
Brandon Forsyth — brother of the “
17 Kids and Counting” cutie’s new hubby,
Austin Forsyth — called a Texas hospital and threatened to blow the place sky-high! According to sensational legal documents obtained by
The National ENQUIRER, Brandon was “suicidal” when he was arrested after making the phone call in May 2010.
In the call, he threatened “to kill, injure and to intimidate the occupants of the HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital in Texarkana, Texas, by means of an explosive,” the court papers stated. The documents also claimed federal agents reported Brandon suffered from “an obsessive-compulsive disorder and bipolar disorder.”
He was committed to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners for a psychiatric evaluation. In a plea deal, Brandon — who is Austin’s half-brother from their father’s first marriage — pleaded guilty to a charge of “false information and hoaxes.” He was sentenced to 20 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
Scandal has already dogged Joy-Anna, 19, and Austin — who have been accused of having a shotgun wedding. The couple wed May 26, and recently announced Joy-Anna is pregnant. Dr. Stuart Fischer, who has not treated Joy-Anna, said she looks “four to five months pregnant,” based on photos she shared on social media.
A family insider claimed the Duggars don’t dig her new husband. “There has been a lot of talk about Austin’s character,” the source dished to The ENQUIRER. “He was more of a rebel child.”
