Las Cruces Man, 45, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Arturo Contreras-becerra, 45, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 15, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 790 Avenida de Mesilla and assigned booking number 2600005583. He is currently being held on a $2,500 bond related to a felony charge of failure to appear. A felony failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant's missed court date regarding a prior felony case, leading to a bench warrant for their arrest. The location of the arrest at a commercial corridor in Las Cruces suggests the warrant was served within the jurisdiction of the local municipal or magistrate court system. The charges are allegations, and Arturo Contreras-becerra is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
