Las Cruces Man, 18, Booked on Misdemeanor Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Jesus Martinez, an 18-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 5, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 2240 Missouri Ave and assigned booking number 2600007090. He faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear, and no bond was immediately listed in the public record. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding as required by a judge. The arrest location on Missouri Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of the Las Cruces Police Department and the local magistrate or district courts. The charges are allegations, and Martinez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
