Josh Sanders, the runner-up from season 25 of The Voice on Reba McEntire's team, has been arrested in North Carolina amid ongoing personal difficulties. He was booked into Cabarrus County Jail on outstanding warrants relating to traffic violations and a charge of obstructing a police officer, adding legal trouble to a year already marked by his divorce from wife Kendra and a bitter custody dispute over their children.

The couple separated in January, with Kendra alleging in court that Sanders had behaved violently in front of their children and struggled with alcohol abuse, including driving while intoxicated with them in the car. Sanders has denied wrongdoing and accused Kendra of trying to damage his relationship with their three daughters; the couple also lost a son, Leelynd, who died on the day he was born. Despite building a large fanbase on The Voice with performances of songs including "Black Waters" and "Go Rest High on That Mountain," the 38-year-old singer's career success has been overshadowed by his ongoing personal and legal struggles.
