Las Cruces Woman, 48, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Faustina Joann Maria Chavez, a 48-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 21, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 1865 W Picacho Ave and assigned booking number 2600005028. Chavez faces three misdemeanor counts of failure to appear and is currently held without bond. A failure to appear charge is typically issued when an individual does not attend a scheduled court proceeding or fails to comply with a court order. The arrest location on West Picacho Avenue is within the city limits of Las Cruces, where municipal or magistrate court matters are frequently processed. The no-bond status indicates that she will remain in custody until she can be brought before a judge to address the underlying legal matters. The charges are allegations, and Chavez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
