The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney filed a misdemeanor sexual misconduct charge against a Bolivar man who allegedly was naked and masturbating in front of a women's restroom at Landreth Park.
Bond was set at $20,000 surety or $3,500 cash for Derick Wayne Cartwright (DOB 2000), who pleaded not guilty during his arraignment today in Jasper County Circuit Court.
A bond modification hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 16. Cartwright is being held in the Joplin City Jail.
From the probable cause statement:
On July 5, 2025, I, Officer Hibbard, was dispatched to Landreth Park, Joplin, Jasper County, MO in reference to sexual misconduct.
Prior to arrival, dispatch advised a white male was completely naked standing in front of the women's restroom with children nearby. Upon arrival, officers located the door to the women's restroom locked and could hear an individual inside.
Officers made several commands for the subject to unlock the door and exit the restroom, but they failed to do so. Officers requested a Joplin park ranger to this location to unlock the door. The park ranger arrived and unlocked the door.
Officers made announcements and entered the restroom. One of the stall doors was shut and locked. Officers knocked on the door and a male announced that he was in the restroom but came out wearing clothing after officers made commands. I detained the male who identified himself as Derick W. Cartwright and sat him down on a bench near the restroom.
I then spoke to VI and VI's young child V2. V1 explained {they} were at a play structure near the restroom when VI looked and noticed a while male standing directly in front of the women's restroom, completely naked, and actively masturbating using one of his hands.
VI stated this was very disturbing for VI and V2. V1 pointed to Derick W. Cartwright and stated, "That's him.:
V1 stated they wish to pursue charges on behalf of V2. There were also several other individuals in the park that pointed to Derick and stated they witnessed him completely naked in front of the women's restroom, but none wished to provide their information for the report.

Mr. Turner you should look up a Cody Shively, he’s got charges pending against him for child molestation of a 12 year old. Keeps getting postponed. It’s not his first time being accused, he was accused by his girlfriend’s 4 year old daughter, her friends daughter. And also by his sister for touching his niece. I figure if anyone can find out if this is being swept under the rug you can. The 4 year old happened in Baxter Springs Ks.
Derick Wayne Cartwright, way to make it on to the National Sexual Predator's List. This will look great on your Job Application, after you get out of jail.
Do Stupid Things - Win Stupid Prizes.
Spanking the monkey in public should be a federal offense. At least the guy wasn't an illegal immigrant.
I’ve not spent much time around Bolivar but apparently their parks system isn’t as stimulating as Joplins?
If he was an immigrant, he’d receive a death sentence but since he’s a white male, he’ll probably only get probation because this country doesn’t believe in persecuting the white man.
5:06AM, are you feeling a little DEI, Woke, CRT, or Pronoun Shaming today?
When are all you Leftist Liberal Democrats - going to realize it is a CRIME to Illegally enter the United States - Just like it is a Crime to Illegally enter Mexico and Canada and every other Country in the World - You will be Arrested, Fined, and eventually Deported - if you enter another country Illegally - if you make it out of their Jails and Prisons alive. So, STOP your BS and understand this is how the Whole World Works with Illegal Aliens - - This is so simple a Second Grader could explain it to you - Of course if your Brain is not that Developed yet - I see why you Leftist Liberal Democrats cannot understand how International Laws Work - that everyone in the World has knowledge of except you! Please Educate Yourself - If you can!
