Erik Ray Torrez, 29, Booked on Failure-to-Appear and Commitment Warrants

Allegedly... Erik Ray Torrez, 29, of Las Cruces, was booked at the Doña Ana County Detention Center on March 18, 2026, on three charges connected to missed court appearances, according to New Mexico jail records. The charges include a felony court commitment with a $3,000 bond, a felony failure to appear with a $5,000 bond, and a misdemeanor failure to appear with a $2,000 bond. Two of the three charges list 2340 E. Lohman Avenue as the arrest location, the address of the Doña Ana County Magistrate Court. The booking record does not describe the underlying cases that produced the missed hearings, and no public court filings or news reports identifying Torrez in connection with a specific prosecution were located in searches of New Mexico sources. Bench warrants for failure to appear are typically issued when a defendant does not show up for a scheduled court date, and they can be resolved through a new appearance and, where applicable, posting of bond. All charges are allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
