Ivan Aleksandrovi Fesik was arrested during a traffic stop in Star on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, after a search involving U.S. Marshals task forces from Missouri and Idaho. Local News 8 reported that Fesik, a convicted sex offender, had been living in Nampa and working in home renovation while Missouri authorities sought him.
According to Local News 8, Fesik was convicted of sexual misconduct in 2013, a charge that legally required him to register as a sex offender. He failed to do so, and was taken into custody on an arrest warrant out of Christian County, Missouri, dated October 2023, for failure to register as a sex offender.
Registration Duties for Some New Idaho Residents
Idaho law includes certain people with out-of-state convictions who were required to register in another state or jurisdiction when they established residency in Idaho, according to the Idaho Legislature.
The outlet also reports that Missouri authorities had issued warrants charging Fesik with felony aggravated driving while impaired and second-degree assault. Investigators said he was arrested during the Star traffic stop without incident.
How the Search Shifted West
The U.S. Marshals Midwestern Violent Fugitive Task Force joined the search on Feb. 10, 2025, according to Local News 8 (KIFI). On Oct. 26, 2026, the Midwestern task force transferred the lead to the U.S. Marshals Greater Idaho Fugitive Task Force, the station reported.
Investigators located Fesik in Nampa, where he was working in home renovation, according to a news release cited by the station. The U.S. Marshals Service led the joint operation that ended with his arrest in Star.
Booked at Ada County Jail, Awaiting Extradition
Fesik is booked at the Ada County Jail and awaits extradition to Missouri, Local News 8 reported.
The arrest in Star followed a search that began with Missouri warrants and later involved federal fugitive task forces in both the Midwest and Idaho.
