Carlsbad Man, 35, Booked at Doña Ana Facility on Federal Transfer

Allegedly... Dustin Alan Henley, a 35-year-old resident of Carlsbad, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 17, 2026. Henley is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600002951 following a transfer from federal authorities. The primary charge listed in his detention record is a felony classified as all other offenses, originating from an arrest in Eddy County. According to federal court and news reports, Henley is accused of firing a rifle at an Eddy County Sheriff’s Office deputy from a vehicle. New Mexico State Police and federal prosecutors have filed multiple charges in connection with the incident, including being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition as well as aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The case stems from a reported shooting that left the suspect injured during the confrontation. The charges are allegations, and Henley is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
