Las Cruces Man, 46, Booked on Multiple Felony Warrants and Shoplifting Charge

Allegedly... Daniel Ray Nunez, a 46-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 25, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at the intersection of Utah and Mesquite on a series of felony and misdemeanor warrants. Nunez faces charges including shoplifting between $500 and $2,500, failure to comply with conditions of release, and multiple counts of failure to appear. The arrest involves both new allegations and existing court matters. A felony shoplifting charge in New Mexico typically pertains to the unauthorized taking of merchandise with a specific value threshold, while the additional warrants suggest prior non-compliance with judicial orders or scheduled court dates. A $5,000 bond has been set for one count, while he is currently held without bond on the remaining charges. The charges are allegations, and Nunez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
