Las Cruces Man, 49, Booked on Felony and Misdemeanor Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... James Spangler, a 49-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 27, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 2180 N. Main Street under booking number 2600006871. He faces one felony count and two misdemeanor counts of failure to appear. A failure to appear charge is typically issued when an individual does not attend a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. The arrest took place within the city limits of Las Cruces, and court records show a combined bond requirement of $2,500 for the felony charge, while the misdemeanor counts are listed with no bond set. The charges are allegations, and Spangler is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
