Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked on Felony Drug Possession and Warrant Charges

Allegedly... Edward A Pinedo, a 37-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 21, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody on Solano Drive and assigned booking number 2600006720. Pinedo faces felony charges for possession of methamphetamine and failure to appear, and he is currently being held without bond. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County following an encounter at a local roadway. A failure to appear charge generally indicates that a defendant did not report for a previously scheduled court proceeding, while the drug charge involves the alleged possession of a controlled substance. The no-bond status reflects a judicial order to remain in custody pending a formal hearing. The charges are allegations, and Pinedo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
