On December 16, 2025, surveillance cameras at the Jasper County Courts building, located at 633 S. Pearl Avenue in Joplin, Missouri, captured two suspects operating go-karts on the concrete area outside the main entrance.

The suspects were observed drifting the go-karts, leaving tire markings and causing damage to the bases of at least six supporting pillars, resulting in dents and scratches. The estimated cost to repair the damage is $12,860.

One suspect was identified as Dylan M. Aleman, 23, of Joplin. Aleman was arrested at his residence on January 14, 2026, and transported to the Jasper County Detention Center in Carthage.

Charges of Property Damage in the First Degree were submitted, and a warrant was subsequently issued.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office thanks the community for its continued support and encourages anyone with additional information related to this incident to contact Detective Samuel Sarmiento (417) 358-8177 Ext. 1266.

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be filed.
