Las Cruces Woman, 49, Faces Felony Charges for Contributing to Delinquency of a Minor

Allegedly... Crystal J. Buster, a 49-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 12, 2026. She is currently held under booking number 2600007322 on two felony counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The arrest took place at 3103 Bluestem St. in Las Cruces, and records indicate she is being held without bond. In New Mexico, contributing to the delinquency of a minor is a fourth-degree felony involving acts that may cause a person under 18 to become a delinquent ward of the court. The specific circumstances surrounding the allegations at the Bluestem Street location have not been detailed in the initial booking report. As of the booking date, no bond has been set for either charge. The charges are allegations, and Buster is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
