Las Cruces Woman, 36, Booked on Misdemeanor Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Brinda Nikole Vargas, a 36-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 7, 2026. Records show she was taken into custody at Bataan Memorial West in Las Cruces under booking number 2600007134. She faces a single misdemeanor charge of failure to appear, and no bond amount was specified in the initial booking record. A failure to appear charge generally stems from an individual not attending a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a legal summons. The arrest location on Bataan Memorial West indicates the contact occurred within the jurisdictional limits of the Las Cruces area. The charges are allegations, and Vargas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
