Las Cruces Man, 26, Booked on Narcotics Trafficking and Multiple Warrants

Allegedly... Alberto Sandoval, 26, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on May 1, 2026. He faces a felony charge of possession of a narcotic with intent to traffic along with multiple warrants for probation violations and failure to appear. Sandoval was arrested at an address on Dona Ana Road and is currently held on combined bonds totaling $3,100, though some charges carry a no-bond status. According to booking summaries and news records, the charges include a misdemeanor count of shoplifting between $100 and $500. The arrest involved several active felony warrants that were served concurrently at the scene. This booking represents a combination of new alleged criminal activity and prior unresolved legal matters within the county court system. The charges are allegations, and Sandoval is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
