Las Cruces Man, 39, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Eugene Ray Contreras, a 39-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 20, 2026. He was taken into custody at 8993 Robert Larson Blvd and assigned booking number 2600007568. The record indicates he faces two misdemeanor counts of failure to appear, and he is currently being held without bond. A failure to appear charge is typically issued by a court when a defendant does not attend a scheduled hearing or legal proceeding. The arrest location at Robert Larson Blvd corresponds with the address of the Doña Ana County Detention Center, suggesting the booking may have occurred following a self-surrender or a transfer from another authority. The charges are allegations, and Contreras is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
