Las Cruces Man, 19, Booked on Traffic Charges and Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Jesus Colon, a 19-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 15, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of South Main Street and East Organ Avenue under booking number 2600005588. Colon faces multiple misdemeanor charges, including speeding, driving with a suspended license, and operating a vehicle without a driver's license, alongside three counts of failure to appear. The arrest location suggests a traffic stop within the city's commercial district. The presence of multiple failure to appear charges typically indicates that the individual had previous court dates scheduled for separate matters that were not attended, leading to the issuance of bench warrants. He is currently being held without bond according to the detention center records. The charges are allegations, and Colon is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
