Las Cruces Woman, 37, Booked on Misdemeanor Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Farah Alanazi, 37, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 9, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody near the intersection of Cholla and Sam Steele in Las Cruces under booking number 2600007164. She faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear and is currently held without bond. A failure to appear charge is generally issued when an individual does not attend a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by the judiciary. The arrest location at a local intersection indicates the booking followed a contact with law enforcement within the Las Cruces city limits. This type of hold ensures the individual remains in custody until they can be brought before a judge to address the underlying legal matter. The charges are allegations, and Alanazi is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
