Denver Woman, 43, Booked at Santa Teresa Border on New Mexico Warrant

Allegedly... Cristal Sotelo, a 43-year-old resident of Denver, Colorado, was taken into custody on Sept. 21, 2026. She was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600007623. Records indicate she was apprehended at Pete V. Domenici Blvd. in Santa Teresa on a misdemeanor warrant issued from a jurisdiction outside of Las Cruces but within the state of New Mexico. A warrant of this nature typically signifies that a court has ordered an individual's appearance or arrest based on an unresolved legal matter or a failure to appear in another New Mexico municipality. The arrest location on Pete V. Domenici Boulevard is situated near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry, a common point for law enforcement contact during transit or border crossings. The charges are allegations, and Sotelo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
