Las Cruces Man, 56, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Jerome Brandon, 56, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 24, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody on West Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces under booking number 2600005089. He faces a felony charge of failure to appear, with a bond set at $20,000. A failure to appear charge typically indicates that an individual did not attend a scheduled court proceeding as required by a prior legal mandate. The felony classification suggest that the underlying matter for which the court appearance was required was itself a felony-level case. Mr. Brandon remains in custody pending the posting of the required bond or a further court hearing. The charges are allegations, and Jerome Brandon is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
