El Paso Man, 40, Booked at Doña Ana County Detention Center on Federal Transfer

Allegedly... Alvaro Martinez Valdez, a 40-year-old resident of El Paso, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 22, 2026. Records indicate he was processed under booking number 2600007637 on a felony charge categorized as all other offenses. He is currently being held without bond following a transfer from federal authorities. A federal transfer booking typically occurs when an individual is being moved between jurisdictions or held in a local facility on behalf of federal law enforcement agencies. The arrest location is listed specifically as a federal transfer, which often involves cases handled by the U.S. Marshals Service or other national agencies rather than local municipal police. The charges are allegations, and Martinez Valdez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
