Las Cruces Man Carl Randall Zeitler, 29, Booked on Shoplifting, Conspiracy, Fta Counts

Allegedly... Carl Randall Zeitler, 29, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center on Jan. 5, 2026, under booking number 2600000094. The booking sheet lists six felony counts: two shoplifting charges in the $500 to $2,500 range, one conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony, one failure to appear, and two court commitments. Bond was set at $3,000 on one of the shoplifting counts, with zero bond listed on the others. The arrest locations include 201 W. Picacho Ave. and 1850 Copper Loop in Las Cruces. Under New Mexico law, shoplifting merchandise valued between $500 and $2,500 is a fourth-degree felony, and a conspiracy count tied to that underlying offense typically carries the same level of exposure. A failure to appear count indicates a prior missed court date. A review of local news coverage did not surface a specific report tied to this booking, and the record does not describe the targeted stores or merchandise. The charges are allegations; Zeitler is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
