On April 2, 2025, at approximately 9:30 AM, the Friendswood Police Department’s Field Support Unit with the assistance of the Pasadena Police Department arrested Edir Ivan Lara Mejia, 40, of Houston, in the 1100 block of Orrell Drive in Pasadena. Two no-bond warrants for Mejia’s arrest were issued by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Edir was wanted for two counts of Indecency With A Child following an investigation by the Friendswood Police Department.
“We will continue to be relentless in the pursuit of protecting the children of our community,” said Chief Rogers. “We are grateful for the partnership of our surrounding agencies and the ability to work together to support the victim affected by this crime by quickly apprehending this individual.”
Following Mejia’s arrest, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E) has set a detainer for him due to his immigration status.
