Mesilla Park Man, 28, Booked on Concealing Identity, Trespass and Felony Fta

Allegedly... Joey Ray Perea, 28, of Mesilla Park, was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center on March 3, 2026, after an arrest at 2100 North Main Street in Las Cruces. Jail records list three charges: misdemeanor concealing identity, misdemeanor criminal trespass, and a felony failure-to-appear warrant with bond set at $3,000. The 2100 block of North Main Street is a commercial strip that includes shopping centers and office frontage north of downtown Las Cruces. Concealing-identity charges under New Mexico law generally allege that a person provided false identifying information to a peace officer during a lawful investigation. The felony failure-to-appear warrant indicates that Perea previously missed a court date in a separate felony matter. The details of that underlying case were not available through public agency sources at the time of booking and would appear on the Third Judicial District docket. Perea is presumed innocent on all of the charges unless and until convicted in a court of law.
