Las Cruces Man, 36, Booked on Suspicion of Methamphetamine Possession

Allegedly... Augustine E. Fielder, 36, of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on June 19, 2026, and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center. Records indicate he was arrested at 1865 W. Picacho and assigned booking number 2600004985. He faces a felony charge of possession of methamphetamine and a misdemeanor charge for failure to appear. Fielder is currently being held without bond on the drug possession charge. The arrest location on West Picacho Avenue is within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement, and the failure to appear charge suggests an outstanding warrant from a previous legal matter. In New Mexico, a no-bond status at the time of intake often indicates that a defendant must remain in custody until they can be brought before a judge for a conditions-of-release hearing. The charges are allegations, and Fielder is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
