Las Cruces Man, 69, Booked on Failure to Appear Charge at Doña Ana County

Allegedly... Eliseo Pena, a 69-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Sept. 17, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600007470 following an arrest at the intersection of Valley and McClure in Las Cruces. Pena faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear and is currently held without bond. A failure to appear charge typically stems from a missed court date or a violation of a previous judicial summons. The arrest location at Valley and McClure suggests the booking occurred within the jurisdiction of local municipal or county law enforcement. Records indicate the case is currently classified as a misdemeanor proceeding. The charges are allegations, and Eliseo Pena is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
