Ramsey County (trfnews.i234.me) — A man with ties to Devils Lake remains listed on the North Dakota sex offender registry. According to public information, Michael Joseph Matt-Garcia, born in 1985, is classified as a moderate risk offender and is currently incarcerated.Registry data shows Matt-Garcia previously lived at 222 Walnut Street West in Devils Lake. His registration is set to expire in July 2032. He is listed as an American Indian male, standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 185 pounds. His tattoos include the words “HOLD” and “FAST” on his hands, an eagle with feathers and lettering on his left arm, a skull and feather on his right arm, and a dollar sign on his neck. Additional tattoos are noted on both shoulders and forearms.

Matt-Garcia’s qualifying offense comes from Washington State. In 2006, he was convicted in Snohomish District Court of indecent liberties. Court documents say he received a 17.5-month prison sentence along with 48 months of probation. This conviction requires his registration in North Dakota.

North Dakota law requires offenders with out-of-state convictions to register locally if they live, work, or attend school within the state. The Attorney General’s Office oversees the registry, which allows the public to search by name, city, or risk level.

Officials emphasize that registry information is intended for community awareness only. It is against the law to use registry details to threaten or harm an offender. For information on sex offender registries nationwide, residents can visit the National Sex Offender Public Website.

Authorities encourage residents to stay informed by regularly checking registry updates and reporting any safety concerns directly to law enforcement.
