Canutillo, Texas Man, 33, Held on Federal Transfer in New Mexico

Allegedly... Eric William Chavez, 33, of Canutillo, Texas, was booked into a New Mexico county jail on the morning of Jan. 27, 2026, with his arrest location listed as a federal transfer, according to jail records. The only charge shown is a felony categorized as "all other offenses," with no bond. Canutillo sits just across the state line from Sunland Park, New Mexico, and federal defendants from the El Paso area are regularly housed in New Mexico facilities under contracts with the U.S. Marshals Service. Nothing in the booking record identifies the underlying federal case, and no U.S. Attorney announcement, court filing, or news report could be matched to Chavez based on his name, age, and hometown. This charge is an allegation. Chavez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
