Las Cruces Man, 41, Booked on Felony Drug Possession and Warrant Charges

Allegedly... Adam Guerrero, a 41-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 17, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Melendres Street and Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces. He faces a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance along with two misdemeanor counts of failure to appear, and he is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005679. A felony charge for possession of a controlled substance in New Mexico typically involves the alleged discovery of prohibited narcotics by law enforcement. The additional failure to appear charges suggest the existence of prior outstanding warrants from the local court system. The arrest location at a major city intersection falls under the jurisdiction of the Las Cruces Police Department. The charges are allegations, and Guerrero is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
