Las Cruces Man, 66, Booked on Suspended License and Outstanding Warrant

Allegedly... Craig C Benavidez, a 66-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Oct. 14, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600008255. Records indicate he faces a misdemeanor charge for driving with a suspended license and was also held on an outside warrant from within New Mexico. The arrest occurred on Indian Head Road, and he is currently held without bond. The charges involve allegations of operating a motor vehicle while driving privileges were legally revoked or suspended. The additional warrant indicates a separate pending legal matter from another jurisdiction within the state that required law enforcement intervention. The Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office processed the booking following the traffic stop or encounter on Indian Head Road. The charges are allegations, and Benavidez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
