Las Cruces Man, 41, Booked on Felony Drug Possession Charge

Allegedly... Isaac C. Garces, a 41-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Sept. 3, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600007042 on a single felony count of possession of a controlled substance. Records indicate the arrest occurred at 2360 E. Lohman Ave., and he is currently held without bond. In New Mexico, a charge of possession of a controlled substance involves the alleged unauthorized custody of drugs classified under the state’s Controlled Substances Act. The arrest location on East Lohman Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of local municipal and county law enforcement. A no-bond hold typically signifies that a defendant must remain in custody until an initial appearance before a magistrate or district judge. The charges are allegations, and Garces is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
