Federico Diaz, 37, of Las Cruces Booked on Misdemeanor Criminal Trespass Charge

Allegedly... Federico Diaz, 37, of Las Cruces, was booked into jail on April 12, 2026, according to New Mexico jail booking records. He faces a single misdemeanor count of Criminal Trespass, with bond listed as zero. The arrest location is recorded as NMSU Lot 20 in Las Cruces, a parking lot on the New Mexico State University campus. Parking Lot 20 is located on the main campus, and New Mexico State University Police routinely handle calls involving campus property. A public-records and news search did not return additional information connecting Diaz to this arrest or describing the circumstances that led to the trespass allegation. The booking record does not indicate whether Diaz had been previously warned to stay off campus property, a common element in New Mexico criminal trespass cases. Diaz has not been convicted, and the charge reflects an accusation only. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
