Las Cruces Man, 36, Held on Felony Court Commitment Charges

Allegedly... Anthony Scott Prugh, 36, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 21, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 201 W. Picacho Ave. and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005774. He faces two felony counts of court commitment. A court commitment charge typically signifies a judicial order requiring an individual to be held in a detention facility, often following a specific court appearance or as part of an ongoing legal proceeding. The arrest location on Picacho Avenue corresponds with the site of the Third Judicial District Court in Las Cruces. This type of hold generally indicates that a judge has mandated the individual remain in custody while the legal process continues. The charges are allegations, and Prugh is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
