Las Cruces Man, 45, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Fernando Espinoza, 45, of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on June 5, 2026, and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center. Records indicate he was arrested at 1265 El Paseo Rd. and assigned booking number 2600004591. He faces a felony charge for failure to appear, with bond set at $3,500. A failure to appear charge is issued when a defendant does not attend a scheduled court proceeding as required by a judge. Because this instance is classified as a felony, it typically stems from an underlying felony case rather than a misdemeanor matter. The specified arrest location on El Paseo Road is a commercial area within the city limits of Las Cruces. The charges against Espinoza are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
