El Paso Man, 38, Booked in Las Cruces on Failure to Appear Warrant

Allegedly... Johnny Lee Jr Pippen, a 38-year-old resident of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 19, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 1308 E University Ave in Las Cruces under booking number 2600007541. He faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear, and no bond has been specified in the initial booking record. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. The arrest location on University Avenue suggests the encounter occurred within a high-traffic commercial area of Las Cruces, leading to his processing at the county detention facility. The charges are allegations, and Pippen is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
