Las Cruces Woman, 28, Booked on Felony Fugitive From Justice Charge

Allegedly... Denise Alvarado, a 28-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 8, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 170 Pete Domenici and assigned booking number 2600007140. She is currently being held without bond on a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice. A fugitive from justice charge typically indicates that an individual is wanted by another jurisdiction for an outstanding warrant or pending legal matter. The arrest location on Pete Domenici Highway suggests the contact occurred near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry, where local or federal authorities often process interstate or international jurisdictional transfers. The charges are allegations, and Alvarado is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
