Las Cruces Man, 24, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear and Misdemeanor Charges

Allegedly... Alex Rafael Hernandez, a 24-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 13, 2026. Hernandez was taken into custody at 2920 Hillrise Drive and assigned booking number 2600008176. He faces a felony count of failure to appear alongside petty misdemeanor charges of concealing identity and obstructing movement. Records indicate a $3,000 bond was set for the felony charge, while the misdemeanor counts are held without bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant missing a scheduled court proceeding for an existing legal matter. The additional charges of concealing identity and obstructing movement suggest an encounter with law enforcement where identification was allegedly withheld or physical passage was hindered. These proceedings are handled within the Doña Ana County court system following the arrest at the Hillrise Drive location. The charges are allegations, and Hernandez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
