Las Cruces Man, 34, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear and Contempt

Allegedly... Harold Leclaire, a 34-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 12, 2026. He faces three misdemeanor counts of failure to appear and four misdemeanor counts of contempt of court, according to jail records under booking number 2600007338. The arrest occurred at 1645 Sacramento, and he is currently being held without bond. These charges typically stem from non-compliance with previous court orders or missing scheduled judicial proceedings. A contempt of court charge signifies an alleged act of disobedience toward the court's authority, while failure to appear indicates a missed court date for a prior legal matter. The arrest location on Sacramento Street falls within the local jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Leclaire is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
