Chaparral Man, 42, Booked on Failure to Appear Warrant in Doña Ana County

Allegedly... Gerardo Witrago, a 42-year-old resident of Chaparral, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 11, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at State Road 404 Westbound under booking number 2600007304. He faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear and is currently being held without bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. The arrest location on SR404 suggests the contact occurred within the southern portion of the county near the Texas border. A no-bond status typically requires the individual to remain in custody until they can be brought before a magistrate to address the underlying warrant. The charges are allegations, and Witrago is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
