Las Cruces Man, 56, Booked on Multiple Felony Drug Possession Charges

Allegedly... Jerome Brandon, a 56-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Aug. 15, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600006552 on two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance. Records indicate the arrest occurred at 790 Avenida de Mesilla in Las Cruces, and he is currently held without bond. In New Mexico, a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance typically involves the alleged discovery of prohibited narcotics by law enforcement. The arrest location on Avenida de Mesilla falls within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County authorities. A no-bond hold signifies that the individual is being detained pending a further hearing or judicial review of the case. The charges are allegations, and Brandon is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
