Las Cruces Man, 50, Booked on Breaking and Entering and Resisting Charges

Allegedly... John Eric Bolivar, a 50-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 7, 2026. He is being held without bond under booking number 2600008047. The arrest occurred at 1138 Van Patten Avenue on charges including felony breaking and entering and misdemeanor resisting or obstructing. In New Mexico, a breaking and entering charge typically involves the unauthorized entry into a dwelling, vehicle, or structure through the use of force or stealth. The arrest location on Van Patten Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. A no-bond hold indicates that the individual is being detained pending a further hearing or judicial review. The charges are allegations, and Bolivar is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
