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:

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.

Hiding behind dresser wearing MAGA hat.
Why bring politics into it? Besides, if he's a pedo, he likely supports Biden. Trump wants harsher punishments for people like him. Why would he favor that for himself...
6:17PM - You are definitely some Crazy Liberal, We have an Epidemic of Sick Pedophiles Preying on Innocent Children - and all you have to Comment on is some Political Issues you have, by Calling Names!!!
Pedophiles come from Every Political Party Affiliation, Every Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Religious Beliefs, Vocations, and Education Levels - and you Think that every Republican is a Pedophile???
What a very Small, Simple, and Stupid Mind You have to Assume what you Said is any way Clever or Smart.
Children are being ABUSED - this is NO LAUGHING MATTER - IT IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY.
We have to Protect Your Children - Maybe you Need to Stop Casting Stones - and Understand and Read that "Sleepy / Creepy Joe", has been Called Out a Multitude of Times in his Senate and Presidential Service by the National Press - For - Touching and Grabbing Women and also Smelling their Hair - - this is From - MSNBC, PBS, The New York Times, AP News, Washington Times, Daily Express, Daily News, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Ok Magazine, New York Magazine, and Newspapers and Media Outlets around the World - is everyone Lying - except You.
I am not saying that Trump is any better - but Please Biden has had Decades of this Behavior as an Elected Official, While Serving as a Senator and President - Everyone Knows it - but they keep Voting for "Creepy Joe"...
Please Get Out of Basement - Stop Playing Video Games and Living in a Vacuum and Try and Read and Understand the Truth - and Stop Lumping every Republican in as MAGAt -
Looks to me as if you did the same thing you were protesting against.
8:33AM, No the previous author was trying to inform the uninformed commentor-6:17PM that the Big Picture and Main Concept of the Article was Pedophiles, Not Politics, but if you want to learn something, before you speak or type and condemn others, you better clean up your own political party before you start Calling the other Kettle Black, a very simple and logical concept, again based on Factual Articles from clearly reliable sources by leading Bipartisan Journalist. Not from Fox News - All of those reliable sources are not wrong.
Plus, most uninformed individuals just spew hatred and have no idea of the facts, because they are so caught up in their own political diatribe, and then labeling all in the Republican Party as MAGAt, when the previous commentor clearly states they are not defending Trump but trying to get everyone to Focus on the Problem of Pedophiles.
731 on the cringeworthy diatribe trail again. This dreg obviously believes himself smarter than the rest of us. Still waiting for 731 to write "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me".......painfully cringeworthy.
Trump said he wanted to date his own daughter. 🤮
1126 apparently is incapable of refraining from spewing diatribe upon diatribe. I believe that is possibly a mental disorder per the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. 1126 needs help as he appears to have obsessions toward pedophiles and MAGAts.
6:41PM, What is your disorder, you constantly have a diatribe of complaints, comment on the article idiot, it is about pedophiles, do you ever read the article or can you read, can you understand, or do you have brain damage?
At least be original and come up with your own words and ideas 1022. You took the entirety of 641's assertions against you and fed yourself with them. How unpalatable, you're a cannibal.
