Las Cruces Woman, 49, Booked Into County Jail for Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Hope M Tellez, 49, of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on June 18, 2026, and booked at the Doña Ana County Detention Center. Records indicate she was processed under booking number 2600004978 following an arrest at the intersection of West Union and Harrelson Street. She is currently held on a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear. The booking record lists a zero-dollar bond, which typically indicates a no-bond hold where the individual must remain in custody until they appear before a judge. This specific charge generally stems from a previous court date being missed rather than a new criminal incident at the time of the stop. The arrest location at West Union and Harrelson Street suggests the encounter occurred within the local jurisdiction of the county. The charges against Tellez are allegations, and she is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
