Las Cruces Woman, 23, Booked on Felony Stolen Vehicle Charge in Chaparral

Allegedly... Jazzmine Monique Tellez-soto, a 23-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 2, 2026. She was taken into custody near mile marker 6 on Highway 40 in Chaparral. Records under booking number 2600007924 indicate she faces a felony charge of receiving or transferring a stolen motor vehicle and is currently held without bond. In New Mexico, the charge of receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle involves the possession of a motor vehicle that the individual knows or has reason to believe has been stolen or unlawfully taken. The arrest location on Highway 40 suggests the encounter occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County authorities during a traffic stop or roadside investigation. The charges are allegations, and Tellez-soto is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
