Las Cruces Man, 33, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear and Probation Violation

Allegedly... Ezequiel Gonzales, 33, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on March 18, 2025, under booking number 2500002049. Jail records list two felony counts: failure to appear and probation violation, both with no bond set. Both counts list TCDF — the Torrance County Detention Facility — as the arrest location, which often indicates a transfer from another facility on an outstanding New Mexico warrant. Felony failure-to-appear charges in New Mexico typically stem from missing court on an underlying felony case, and probation violations are not new crimes but rather alleged breaches of the conditions of an existing sentence. A search of New Mexico court records and regional news coverage did not surface reporting that can be clearly tied to this booking. The counts are allegations. Gonzales is presumed innocent on the failure-to-appear count and entitled to a hearing on the probation allegation unless and until a court finds otherwise.
