Las Cruces Man, 34, Booked on Three Felony Shoplifting Counts, Failure-to-Appear Warrants

Allegedly... Daniel Garcia, 34, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center on the afternoon of March 20, 2026, according to jail records. The booking entry lists seven counts in total, including three felony counts of shoplifting merchandise valued between $500 and $2,500, three misdemeanor failure-to-appear warrants, and a felony court commitment entry. Bond on each of the three felony shoplifting counts is listed at $2,000. The felony court commitment entry and all three misdemeanor failure-to-appear counts are held without bond. The shoplifting counts are tied to an arrest location at Klein Avenue and Bellamah Drive, while the court commitment entry is recorded at the Dona Ana County Detention Center itself. The booking record does not identify the stores involved or the specific dates of the alleged thefts. A review of New Mexico court records, U.S. Attorney's Office releases for the District of New Mexico, and local news outlets did not surface article-specific reporting tying this particular Daniel Garcia to the March 2026 booking at the time of publication. Charges are allegations; Garcia is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
