Las Cruces Man, 36, Booked on Felony Failure-to-Appear Warrant

Allegedly... Alexander Ogburn, 36, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center on April 1, 2026, following an arrest at 719 N. Mesquite Street in Las Cruces, according to jail records reviewed for this report. The booking number associated with the intake is 2600002423. Ogburn faces three Failure to Appear charges. The most serious is a felony count with bond set at 20,000 dollars, which the booking sheet lists as originating at the detention center itself. A misdemeanor Failure to Appear count carries a 5,000-dollar bond, and an additional misdemeanor Failure to Appear was entered with no bond assigned. Failure to Appear charges typically follow a defendants missed court date. Prior local reporting in January 2024 from KVIA, KFOX, KRQE and KTSM identified an Alexander Ogburn, then 33, of Las Cruces, who was arrested by the Las Cruces Police Department and accused of armed robbery at Dylans convenience store at 1900 N. Main Street. According to those reports, the suspect threatened a clerk with an object later determined to be a flashlight before taking cash and cigarettes, and he was initially booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center without bond. The age and city are consistent with the person named in the current booking, though authorities have not publicly confirmed the two records involve the same individual or that the current warrants are tied to that 2024 case. An arrest is not a conviction. Ogburn is presumed innocent unless and until the charges against him are proven in a court of law. This report will be updated if court filings or additional news coverage become available.
