Las Cruces Man, 46, Faces Multiple Felony Counts Including Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Johnny Michael Martinez, 46, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Jan. 22, 2026, on four felony counts, according to jail records. The charges include two probation violations with bonds set at $5,000 each, a failure-to-appear count with a $2,000 bond, and a court commitment with no bond. Two of the bookings originated at the detention center itself and one was logged at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque. No news coverage or public court filings tied specifically to this booking surfaced in a review of New Mexico outlets and state court dockets. The booking entry does not identify the underlying cases associated with the violation allegations or the court commitment. The charges are allegations; Martinez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
