Las Cruces Man, 39, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Charles Joseph Saenz, a 39-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 2, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Isaacks Lane and Valley Drive. Saenz faces three misdemeanor counts of failure to appear and is currently held under booking number 2600007031. A failure to appear charge is typically issued by a court when a defendant does not attend a scheduled hearing or legal proceeding. These charges suggest that there were prior underlying legal matters requiring his presence. In this instance, the court has ordered Saenz to be held without bond. The charges are allegations, and Saenz is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
