Las Cruces Man, 20, Booked on Weapon Charge and Failure to Appear Warrants

Allegedly... Ericko Alejandro Rodriguez, a 20-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 4, 2026. Rodriguez was taken into custody at 101 E. Union and assigned booking number 2600005312. He faces a misdemeanor charge for negligent use of a deadly weapon alongside two counts of failure to appear. Records indicate he is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon generally involves the discharge or handling of a firearm in a manner that endangers the safety of others or involves the use of a weapon while under the influence. The arrest location on East Union Street falls within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement in Doña Ana County. A no-bond hold typically signifies that the individual must remain in custody until they can appear before a judge for a conditions-of-release hearing. The charges are allegations, and Rodriguez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
