Las Cruces Man, 68, Booked on Methamphetamine Distribution Charge

Allegedly... Erasmo Guevara, a 68-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 17, 2026. Guevara was taken into custody at 702 E Amador on a felony charge of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. He is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600007487. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of the City of Las Cruces. In New Mexico, a charge of possession with intent to distribute signifies an allegation that the quantity of the controlled substance or the circumstances of the arrest suggest the items were intended for sale rather than personal use. A no-bond hold indicates the individual is being detained pending a pretrial hearing to determine release conditions. The charges are allegations, and Guevara is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
