Las Cruces Man, 26, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Warrant

Allegedly... Jesus Contreras, 26, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 30, 2026. Registered under booking number 2600005239, he faces a felony charge for failure to appear. Records indicate he was taken into custody by the Utah County Sheriff in Spanish Fork, Utah, and is currently held on a $5,000 bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding as required by a judge. The arrest in Spanish Fork suggests an extradition or transfer process to address the outstanding warrant within the New Mexico judicial system. The charges are allegations, and Contreras is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
