Las Cruces Man Booked on Failure to Appear and Criminal Trespass Charges

Allegedly... Christopher Gregory Stalnaker, 33, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 15, 2026. He faces two misdemeanor charges: failure to appear and criminal trespass. According to booking records, Stalnaker was arrested at 251 W. Amador Ave. in Las Cruces, which is the address of the Doña Ana County Government Center. Both charges carry no bond amount, meaning Stalnaker may be held until a judge sets conditions for release. Failure to appear is filed when a defendant does not show up for a scheduled court date. Criminal trespass involves unlawfully entering or remaining on property after being told to leave. Both offenses are classified as misdemeanors under New Mexico law. Stalnaker is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. No additional details regarding the circumstances of the alleged offenses have been released.
