Jasper Police arrest Carthage man on Jackson County warrant for child molestation, statutory sodomy


The Jasper Police Department arrested a Carthage man Tuesday on a Jackson County warrant for child molestation and statutory sodomy.

According to a post on the Jasper Police Facebook page, Joshua Garber (DOB 1983) was found hiding behind a dresser while a home was being searched as part of a drug investigation.






A warrant for Garber's arrest was issued in August 2023, with the probable cause saying Garber had molested a girl a few years earlier when she was a first grader, telling her to "never let a boy or a man touch you like that."

The child said that after Garber touched her, he would put his hand down his pants.

When the girl went running to her mother after one of the alleged incidents and told her mother about it. The mother confronted Garber who told her, "You know I get handsy in my sleep," the probable cause statement said.

The statement says Garber has a history of drug use.

The Jasper Police Department Facebook page featured this account of Tuesday's arrest:

On Tuesday, March 26th, 2024 at 1404 hours, Jasper PD officers made contact with subjects at 307. E. Grand Ave., Jasper, Mo, in reference to a drug investigation.

Upon arrival, we made contact with Darrell Thomason, who is the resident of the above address.
Upon search of the residence, meth related drug paraphernalia was located, as well as a subject hiding behind a dresser… Subject was identified as Joshua Garber.

Garber had active felony warrants out of Jackson County, Mo for 2nd degree assault and child molestation.

Garber was taken into custody and transported the the Jasper County jail where he was held on the active warrants and possession of meth related drug paraphernalia.







Thomason was arrested for possession of meth related drug paraphernalia and transported to the Jasper County jail.

This residence has had several incidents where drug related arrests were made over the past 10 years. Due to the gross house conditions and the many drug related incidents, charges for “maintaining a nuisance” will be submitted to the Jasper County Prosecutor’s office. 

This law was used in 2017 where Sharon’s restaurant was closed and the owner arrested due to many theft incidents and drug related arrests were made.


Officer Cory Waters honored for detective work that led to arrest of suspect in hit-and-run that killed Joplin woman

Joplin Police Officer Cory Waters was named officer of the month for January for his work in finding the suspect in the January 8 hit-and-run accident that killed Eva M. Havelock, 55, Joplin.

Ruben Blanco, 49, Joplin, pleaded not guilty Monday in Jasper County Circuit Court to a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident and three misdemeanor charges.

The Joplin Police Department issued the following news release today about Waters' honor.

The Joplin Police Department is proud to recognize Police Officer Cory Waters, who has been awarded Officer of the Month for January of 2024 by Chief Richard Pearson. His nomination was based on the following:

On January 8th, 2024, a crash involving a pedestrian and SUV occurred at 1805 hours. The SUV left the scene and there were only vague descriptions of a dark colored small SUV. The pedestrian later died at the hospital. 








Ofc. Waters, who did not work the crash, came in the next morning, and heard about the crash. Without being directed, he started asking some questions and read over the call log. He began searching RMS for black SUV’s and reading over reports for possible matches. 

Later in the day, he located a report involving a black SUV and a driver that could possibly match the description. He spent all his free time that day, going by related addresses and then businesses looking for possible video of suspect vehicle from the night before. 

After being told by his Corporal that a part left behind at the crash was possibly from a 2000-2005 Ford Explorer, he advised that he possibly found a potential suspect. Ofc. Waters found that his suspect was on probation, and he contacted the assigned probation officer. After several phone calls back and forth, he was able to convince the probation officer to do a surprise home visit the next day.

With no other leads on any other vehicles or drivers, Ofc. Waters found the current address for his suspect and sat off the house the next day, continuing the investigation, while he waited for a possible visit time by the probation officer. Other officers continued searching for other possible vehicles but Ofc. Waters felt that he found the offender. 

After the probation officer left the home, he called Ofc. Waters and the information passed on justified keeping the male as a possible suspect. Ofc. Waters felt that it was time for a knock and talk. He contacted detectives asking for assistance. 

Not wanting to steal the case from the reporting officer, Ofc. Waters set up the knock and talk with the detectives and the reporting officer. The contact resulted in the officers locating a back Ford SUV with damage matching and obvious attempts to repair the car. The male agreed to go the station with Sgt. Stahl for an interview. The interview resulted in the male admitting that he was the driver and sole occupant in the crash that killed the pedestrian.








Due to Ofc. Waters incredible attention to detail and quality of work, a fatal hit and run that could easily have gone unsolved was solved with a confession and offender in custody within 48 hours of the incident. Officer Waters, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Joplin Police Department and the citizens we serve.

Chief Richard Pearson

Carthage Police Department rescues children taken from Florida day care

 


An Orlando, Florida woman was charged today with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child and is being held in the Jasper County Jail without bond.

Alexius Neandra Baker, 28, is the mother of the three children and they were about to be removed from her custody when she took them from their day care without permission, according to the probable cause statement.

The children, six-year-old Summer Mercelin, two-year-old Jacqueline Leonard and nine-month-old Justyce Leonard, were last seen Monday, March 18 and were reported missing on March 21.

The Orlando Police Department contacted Carthage Police when it was determined Baker's phone was pinging in the Carthage city limits.






From the probable cause statement:


They requested officers check the area for the vehicle, suspect (Alexius BAKER), and her three children (Victim1, Victim2, and Victim3) who were ordered to be removed from her custody by a court order. 
It was believed BAKER picked up the children from daycare in an effort to flee the state and keep the children in her custody. 

Carthage officers arrived in the area of 2700 South Grand Ave (Wal-Mart) where they located the suspect vehicle parked approximately 500 feet from the door near the edge of the parking lot. 

Officers contacted three juveniles (Victim 1, Victim 2, and Victim 3) in the vehicle. The temperature at the time of contact was approximately 35 degrees Fahrenheit. The vehicle was not running and was cool to the touch. 

Officers observed the vehicle to be messy with items and bags filling the seats in the vehicle. Officers also noted a strong foul smell emitting from the vehicle and the children to be dirty and in clothes that were soiled. 








Officers contacted Witness 1 and Witness 2 who provided case facts and a photo of BAKER. Officers entered Walmart and made contact with BAKER and escorted her to the parking lot. Det. McMain conducted a forensic interview with Victim 1 at the Children’s Center. 

She went on to disclose during the interview her mom (BAKER) took her and her siblings from daycare and took them on a trip. She said she took her phone and threw it out the front window of the car when they were leaving Florida. She noted BAKER told them they were on TV as missing but she was going to make sure they were safe and no one would take them away from her. 

She stated it had been a long time since she or her siblings had taken a bath. She recounted eating a couple of times while on the trip. She remembered three separate occasions they ate in the two weeks.

While at the Children’s Center, the juveniles (Victim 1, Victim 2, and Victim 3) had physical exams. The nurse practitioner noted the children appeared to not have bathed in weeks. They and their clothes were covered in dirt and bodily fluids. She noted they all had upper respiratory issues due to living in a vehicle in an uncontrolled climate.

Granby woman to stand trial for fifth DWI


Tammy Sifferman, 51, Granby, waived her preliminary hearing today in Jasper County Circuit Court and will stand trial for driving while intoxicated.

Sifferman will be arraigned 9 a.m. April 22 in the trial division.

The DWI charge is the fifth for Sifferman, who was on probation for her fourth DWI when she was arrested October 29 outside of Carthage by the Highway Patrol.







Sifferman was arrested by the Highway Patrol on December 20, 2010 and February 20, 2011 and was found guilty on both charges July 26, 2011 in Jasper County Circuit Court.

The Highway Patrol arrested Sifferman March 8, 2012 and was found guilty September 14, 2012 in Jasper County Circuit Court and the Newton County Sheriff's Office arrested her December 7, 2019 and she was found guilty in Newton County Circuit Court October 20, 2021.

Newton County Circuit Court records indicate Judge John LePage sentenced Sifferman to four years in prison for her fourth DWI and suspended the sentence, placing her on supervised probation for five years.

Conditions of her probation include staying away from alcohol and any location where alcohol is sold to be consumed on the premises, not possessing or using any controlled substance that is not prescribed for her by a doctor and successfully completing a court-ordered program.








Judge LePage restored Sifferman's driving privileges December 19, 2022, according to Newton County Circuit Court records.

Under LePage's order, Sifferman was required to have an ignition interlock device installed. The probable cause statement for her most recent arrest indicates the vehicle she was driving had an ignition interlock.
