Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked at I-25 Checkpoint on Out-of-County Misdemeanor Warrant

Allegedly... Dhaher Abdo Hezam Alshayef, 37, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 13, 2026, according to jail intake records. The booking lists a single misdemeanor charge: an active warrant issued outside Las Cruces but within New Mexico. The arrest was logged at the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint near milepost 26 on Interstate 25, the booking record shows. Federal checkpoints routinely conduct immigration-related screening, and individuals contacted there are at times found to have outstanding state warrants that result in a handoff to local authorities. No bond amount is listed on the intake document, which is typical for out-of-county warrant holds pending transport or a bond hearing in the originating jurisdiction. A review of New Mexico court records, area news coverage and U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Mexico filings did not return additional public reporting tied to Alshayef at the time of publication. Alshayef has not been convicted of the underlying matter and is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The case will be addressed in the New Mexico court that issued the original warrant.
