Las Cruces Man, 45, Booked on Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Eric Fernando Lara, 45, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 16, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Peachtree Hills and Coyote Flats and assigned booking number 2600005633. He is currently held without bond on a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. The arrest location suggests the encounter occurred within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement patrolling the north Las Cruces area. A no-bond hold typically requires the individual to remain in custody until they can be brought before a magistrate. The charges are allegations, and Lara is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
