Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked on Felony Methamphetamine Possession Charge

Allegedly... Francisco Carrejo, a 37-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Sept. 2, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600007009. Records indicate he was arrested near the intersection of Las Alturas and University on a felony charge of possession of methamphetamine and is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, a felony drug possession charge involves the alleged discovery of controlled substances by law enforcement. The arrest location near a major university corridor falls under the jurisdiction of local and county authorities. A no-bond status typically indicates that the individual is being held pending a pretrial detention hearing or due to other administrative holds. The charges are allegations, and Carrejo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
