Las Cruces Man, 26, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Johnny I Benavidez, 26, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 6, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 1300 E Organ in Las Cruces under booking number 2600004614. He faces one felony count and nine misdemeanor counts of failure to appear. A failure to appear charge is typically issued by a court when a defendant does not attend a scheduled hearing or legal proceeding. The booking record shows that while the misdemeanor counts are listed with a zero-dollar bond, the felony count is currently held without a bond amount specified. This status generally means the individual must remain in custody until they appear before a judge for a bond hearing. The charges are allegations, and Benavidez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
