The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a felony failure to report charge against a Carthage sex offender Thursday, as well as four misdemeanor charges resulting from a Carthage Police Department traffic stop that day.
Though bond for Joel Montoya Ortiz (DOB 1983) was set at $20,000 cash only, Jasper County Detention Center records indicated Ortiz is being held on no bond on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrant.
From the probable cause statement:
I observed the vehicle fail to come to a complete stop at the stop sign, rather slowed to yield to traffic. A traffic stop was initiated after the vehicle completed a turn into the 1000-BLK of Howard St.
I approached the vehicle and contacted the driver, who later provided an "International Driver's License" belonging to Victim l. The driver failed to provide his original country's driver's license in addition to the International Driver's License to comply with the regulations. The driver was unable to provide the vehicle's insurance information, stating that it was his brother's vehicle.
Dispatch ran the information provided on the International Driver's License through MULES/NCIC and observed no matches with name/date of birth being associated to a Missouri Driver's License.
I returned to the driver with my patrol vehicle's issued "Fast-ID" and obtained preliminary fingerprints for identification purposes. The results of the fingerprint identified the driver as Joel Ortiz, based on a sex offender registration from Arkansas. Non-emergency backup was called for assistance.
I placed Ortiz into double-locked handcuffs behind his back. Once in the backseat of my patrol vehicle, I asked Ortiz to confirm his identity, and he used the middle name on the International Driver's License as his first name and only used one of the last names, stating that he was not Ortiz.
I transported Ortiz to the Carthage Police Department for processing and further questioning. During the book-in process, Ortiz confirmed that his name was Joel Ortiz and provided his correct date of birth and social security number.
The information showed Ortiz to have a suspended driver's license out of Arkansas (note that there was additional information on the return that the license was canceled for fraud in 2022).
Ortiz also confirmed that he was convicted of a sex offense roughly 10 years prior and has not registered in the state of Missouri, despite living in Carthage for 1-1.5 years.
After reviewing the Sex Offender Registration Information from Arkansas, Ortiz was convicted of Engaging in Sexual Contact with a 14-year-old female. The registration showed that it was non-expiring.

It’s a sad failed system. I feel like because this article opens the public to hatred it should also state. 77% of the inmates who committed sexual related offenses in the Carthage Jail are American citizens.
So... 23%. Nearly 1/4th are illegal aliens? That really isn't the slam dunk on anti illegal immigration folks that you think it is. One is too many. Send them back. Matter of fact, let them take one of the American citizen rapists with them.
Well, Randy, how about that disclaimer? Trying to start a pogrom? Wouldn’t that be exciting?
There are sex offenders in Carthage?!
Yes, that would be just sex related crimes who are detained in Carthage. It would be 2.5% immigrants out of the 198 inmates. All I’m saying is don’t discriminate and profile people base off this bad apple.
Is this the same bad apple argument that was ridiculed when it came to defunding the police?
They broke the law to enter our country, and then broke more laws. Send them back. I really don't care if most of them are good people. Come in the right way or don't come at all. Enough is enough.
Again, to all of you that don't think that we should - "Close the Borders", this is another case of an Illegal Alien, Joel Montoya Ortiz, who is Sex Offender - driving around our local cities.
With the Article right above this one, Gilmar Aralto Elias Huinac, another Sick Pedophile was caught in a sting of Human Traffickers from Carthage.
So, Please all you Liberal Democrats - Stop Feeling Sorry for these Illegal Aliens, we are letting Criminals, Mercenaries, Cartel Members, Drug Traffickers, and Human Traffickers into our Country - This is Happening right in front of you in Small Town America - STOP AVOIDING THE TRUTH!
While we had - In fiscal year (FY) 2024, 818,500 Legal Immigrants who became US Nationalized Citizens, through Hardwork and the Legal Process that we allow any Immigrant the Opportunity to use.
If you want to become a US Nationalized Citizen - How about using the Legal Process that is Established and Already in Place to Give you Access to the Greatest Country in the World
