Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked on Felony Shoplifting and Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... Christian Alexander Womack, a 37-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 19, 2026. He faces a felony charge of shoplifting between $500 and $2,500, alongside a misdemeanor charge for failure to appear. Records indicate he was arrested at the intersection of La Posada and Valley and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600006652. In New Mexico, a felony shoplifting charge involving property valued between $500 and $2,500 is classified as a fourth-degree felony, which carries potential prison time and fines upon conviction. The failure to appear charge indicates a prior requirement to attend a court proceeding that was not met. The arrest location at La Posada and Valley falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Womack is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
