Las Cruces Man, 41, Booked on Felony Drug Possession Charge

Allegedly... Aaron Salinas, a 41-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 17, 2026. Recorded under booking number 2600007486, he faces a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance. The arrest occurred at the intersection of Missouri Avenue and Espina Street, and records indicate he is currently being held without bond. A felony charge of possession of a controlled substance in New Mexico typically involves the alleged discovery of illegal narcotics or unauthorized prescription medications. Because the booking record indicates a no-bond hold, the individual remains in custody at the county facility pending further judicial review or a scheduled appearance. The charges are allegations, and Salinas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
