Georgia Woman, 42, Booked in New Mexico as Fugitive From Justice

Allegedly... Eleishah Bowens, 42, of Griffin, Georgia, was booked into a New Mexico detention facility on March 1, 2026, under booking number 2600001669. The arrest took place along Robert Larson Boulevard, roughly 455 feet west of the roadway, according to the booking record. She faces a single felony count of being a fugitive from justice, and the record lists no bond. Fugitive-from-justice charges in New Mexico are typically filed when a person sought by authorities in another state is located locally. The booking sheet lists Bowens with a Griffin, Georgia, address, though it does not identify the underlying case that prompted the fugitive filing. An arrest report published by the Griffin Daily News in August 2024 referenced a person with the same name and a Griffin address in connection with an unrelated local charge; it is not clear whether that matter is tied to the current New Mexico booking. No attorney is listed in the public booking record, and no court filings describing the underlying out-of-state case were available at the time of publication. Extradition proceedings in such cases usually play out in state district court once a governor-level warrant is received. Bowens has not been convicted of any offense in connection with this booking. She is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
