Las Cruces Woman, 42, Booked on Shoplifting and Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... Guadalupe Monarrez, a 42-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 24, 2026. She faces misdemeanor charges of shoplifting items valued between $100 and $500, along with a charge for failure to appear. Monarrez was assigned booking number 2600006791 and is currently held without bond. The arrest took place at 3331 Rinconada Blvd, the location of a retail shopping center in Las Cruces. Under New Mexico law, shoplifting charges in this value range are classified as petty misdemeanors or misdemeanors depending on prior history. The failure to appear charge indicates a prior court mandate that was not met, resulting in the current no-bond hold. The charges are allegations, and Monarrez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
