A Carthage man is being held on a $50,000 cash-only bond on a felony driving while intoxicated charge following a head-on crash on 171 in Carl Junction.
Online Jasper County Circuit Court documents indicate ICE was notified since Merido Juarez Hunan (DOB 1997), a native of Guatemala, did not have a valid license and is not an American citizen.
Huinac was also charged with.a second felony- tampering with physical evidence and three misdemeanors- failure to drive on the right side of the roadway, no insurance and no valid license.
From the probable cause statement:
On 01/21/2026, at approximately 2241 hours, a witness called 911 to report that a head-on motor vehicle crash occurred at Highway 171 and Route Z and that both drivers appeared to be injured.
Upon arrival, I observed a silver Dodge Caravan stopped in the middle of the roadway on Highway 171 and a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee stopped in the ditch to the West of Highway 171.
The driver of the Dodge Caravan was identified as Merido Juarez Huinac. The driver of the Jeep Grand Cherokee was identified as James Nible. James sustained an injury to his forehead and was transported to Mercy Joplin via METS to be treated for injuries.
Helms Cisne stated that he observed the Dodge Caravan cross over the double-yellow center line and cause the crash. Austin Wilson stated that he followed the Dodge Caravan from the intersection
of Demott and Fir Road. The vehicle committed several lane violations and they believed he could've been on a cellular device.

Austin observed Merido collide with the other vehicle. He then attempted to leave, but the damage sustained to his vehicle prevented him. There was 163'4'' of skid marks that were caused by the front left of Merido's vehicle after he attempted to get away.
Witness 2 then observed Merido throwing a bag out the window and a couple small objects.
In the bag, I located alcohol that was empty. I then found two beer cans on the side of the road, next to the vehicle. They matched the same brand (Modelo) as the beer car in the driver's cup holder. The driver had 1/4 of the can left full, cold to the touch.
Merido was contacted at Freeman Hospital where he was read implied consent. His BAC from his blood sample was 0.13 percent. I read Merida his Miranda Warnings, using a translator from AMN Healthcare Language Services. He advised he understood his rights, then he answered my questions. While reading the AIRs form, he admitted to consuming alcohol and then operating the motor vehicle. He admitted to drinking five beers, which was how many were located on the scene.
The probable cause statement also said that Huinac poses a threat to the community, because he "knowingly drove a motor vehicle with no license, no insurance, all while in an intoxicated condition. He blatantly disregarded safety for the public and caused a collision that could have been fatal."
He did not show remorse or apologize for the incident. Instead, he requested help to return to Guatemala.

I believe we can help him with his request 😂
Thankful that the Victims weren't Killed and that they have a quick recovery from their injuries caused by another Illegal Alien.
This is a "PERFECT EXAMPLE", for all you Leftist Liberal Democrats - An Illegal Alien, Merido Juarez Hunan, that was not an American Citizen - Driving Illegally - Without a Driver's License or Insurance - So if he hits you, your family members, or friends and injuries or kills them - he has no way to cover the costs of vehicle repair, replacement, or medical or funeral costs.
Yet these Leftist Liberal Democrats - with your Woke, DEI, CRT, Pronoun Shaming Attitudes - have No Problems - Protesting, Causing Mayhem, Inciting Violence and Hate for these Criminals who come to the United States Illegally and get Free Housing, Free Food, Free Medical, Free Education, Free Money, Stipends, Free Cell Phones, even Driver's Licenses, yet no Insurance Company will underwrite Insurance Policies for them - All on the Backs of Hardworking Taxpayers -
And if any of you Leftist Liberals have forgotten the Truth and Facts - about Obama - Nicknamed the "The Deporter-in-Chief", because he Deported more Illegal Aliens than any other President in History - - Which he was VERY PROUD OF - - So all you Democrats need to go back and Read and Research since you do not want to Hear the Truth or Understand the Facts and just live like this History Never Happened - WHICH IT DID - SO Stop being so "DUMB" - STOP PROTECTING ILLEGAL ALLIENS THAT ARE CRIMINALS AND BREAKING THE LAW.
Plus - There had been 56 deaths in ICE custody during the Obama administration, including six suicides and at least one death after an attempted suicide, but all you LEFTIST LIBERAL DEMOCRATS - CAN NEVER HEAR THE TRUTH OR UNDERSTAND THE FACTS - So, you constantly have to LIE TO YOURSELVES - About - HOW GREAT OBAMA AND BIDEN WERE - BECAUSE YOU NEVER LEARN THE TRUTH OR THE FACTS...
ADIOS!! Too bad you didn't self-deport before you had too much cerveza. You missed out on $1000.
“UNITED STATES WITHOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS.”
Before borders were drawn, before laws were written, this land already had names, nations, and people.
From the Navajo to the Sioux, from the Cherokee to the Lenape, this map tells a story many history books avoid.
This isn’t about hate.
It’s about truth.
If we’re going to talk about “illegal aliens,” we should be honest about who was here first — and who crossed whose borders.

He needs to be sent to jail and then once he is released immediately deported.
This is exactly how we need to handle every illegal aliens, under the laws of the United States they are criminals they came here illegally and need to be deported.
All you Leftist Liberals show a complete injustice and undermine the legal immigration system for the millions of immigrants that came to our country legally, who worked hard and became citizens of our great country - you preach your radical violence and hate, through your actions, while police, state, and federal agencies follow the letter of the laws to keep America Safe. You are the same groups of Leftist Liberals that sabotage the American Dream for legal immigrants that want to come to America, work hard, and become Citizens -
11:34AM - It is January 23, 2026 - This is the United States of America - NOW.
No one living today was here 1000, 500, 400, 300, or even 200 years ago and you weren't either - No one living today is responsible for what happened centuries ago - just like all these people think we owe reparations for things that happened before any of them were born - matter of fact should all of the soldier's families that fought for the Union Army, the North, the REPUBLICANS, vs the Confederates, the South, be given reparations since they fought to free the slaves - so do all the slaves families' today owe us Money??? Of course NOT, because we unlike them don't keep scores, we did the right thing for the right reasons - we didn't focus on the past - just the future - which is what everyone should do!
Immigrants built this country - today's laws require that we offer anyone the opportunity to come to this country as long as they go through the legal process, meet the requirements, including a background check. Yet our Leftist Liberal Democrats - want to allow illegal immigrants easy access through open borders - which NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD DOES - SO WHY SHOULD AMERICA.
Yes the Natives also stole land from other Natives but we don’t like to remember that do we….
I'd like to add a correction. Due to further research, I have learned that they now give $2600 for self-deportation. Look what you missed out on, Merido.
