Las Cruces Man, 32, Faces Two Felony Release-Violation Counts and Drug Possession Charge

Allegedly... David Aguilar, 32, of Las Cruces, was booked on March 30, 2026, on two felony counts of failure to comply with conditions of release and one felony count of possession of a controlled substance, according to Dona Ana County Detention Center records. The arrests were logged at Luna and Andrew in Las Cruces. Bond was set at zero on each release-violation charge and at $1,000 on the controlled substance count. No-bond holds on release-violation charges typically indicate a judge has ordered a defendant held pending a detention or probation hearing. New Mexico law classifies failure to comply with release conditions in a pending felony as a fourth-degree felony, and possession of a Schedule I through IV controlled substance is generally a fourth-degree felony under state statute. The specific substance alleged in this booking was not listed in the intake entry reviewed for this report. A review of publicly available New Mexico news outlets and federal prosecutor announcements did not return additional details matching this defendant at the time of publication. The charges are allegations, and Aguilar is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
