Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... James Dean Thompson, a 37-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Aug. 29, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600006927. Records indicate he faces three misdemeanor counts of failure to appear and is currently being held without bond following his arrest at 225 S. Telshore Blvd. A failure to appear charge is typically issued by a court when a defendant does not attend a scheduled hearing or legal proceeding. The arrest occurring at a commercial address on Telshore Boulevard indicates the execution of outstanding warrants within the city limits of Las Cruces. Because no bond was set at the time of booking, Thompson will remain in custody pending a scheduled appearance before a magistrate. The charges are allegations, and Thompson is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
