Las Cruces Man, 65, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Guiseppe Joseph Chiappara, a 65-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 10, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Valley Drive and Hayner Avenue. Chiappara faces six misdemeanor counts of failure to appear and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600006348. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding as required by a judge or magistrate. The arrest location suggests the booking followed a contact with law enforcement within the city limits of Las Cruces. Because these charges involve multiple counts, the court has ordered a no-bond hold pending further judicial review. The charges are allegations, and Chiappara is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
