Las Cruces Man, 39, Faces Kidnapping and Aggravated Fleeing Charges After I-10 Arrest

Allegedly... James J. Linck, 39, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 27, 2025, following an arrest along Interstate 10, according to jail records. Booking data lists eight counts, including kidnapping, aggravated fleeing from an officer, aggravated battery against a household member causing great bodily harm, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, tampering with evidence, and possession of a controlled substance. Two additional misdemeanor counts of battery against a household member were also filed. Jail records show no bond was set on any of the counts at the time of booking. No further details about the circumstances of the arrest were listed in the public booking entry, and a review of New Mexico news outlets did not turn up coverage tied to this specific booking. All charges described are allegations, and Linck is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
