La Mesa Man, 40, Booked at Doña Ana County Detention Center

Allegedly... Joey Tinoco, a 40-year-old resident of La Mesa, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 4, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 36 Esquina and assigned booking number 2600006196. He faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to pay fines, and his bond status was not immediately specified in the public record. A charge of failure to pay fines typically stems from an outstanding warrant issued when a defendant does not meet financial obligations previously ordered by a court. This type of booking indicates that a judge has flagged the case for non-compliance with a prior judgment or citation. The arrest location at 36 Esquina falls within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Joey Tinoco is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
