Las Cruces Man, 47, Jailed on Shoplifting Charge and Felony Warrants

Allegedly... Anthony E. Baca, 47, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Jan. 16, 2026, according to jail records. The booking lists a misdemeanor shoplifting charge in the $100 to $500 range, with the arrest location noted near Lester and Walnut in Las Cruces. Jail records also show two felony holds tied to the booking: a failure-to-appear warrant and a probation violation, both booked through the detention center with no bond set. A $500 bond is listed on the shoplifting count. No additional public reporting on the underlying case was located at the time of this post, and the allegations above reflect only what appears in the county booking sheet. All charges are allegations; Baca is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
