Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked on Battery and Fugitive From Justice Charges

Allegedly... Jonathan Caleb Thomas, a 37-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 6, 2026. Thomas was taken into custody at 1225 Hayner Ave and assigned booking number 2600007106. Records indicate he faces a misdemeanor charge of battery and a felony count of being a fugitive from justice, with no bond set at the time of processing. A fugitive from justice charge typically indicates that an individual is wanted by another jurisdiction or has an outstanding warrant from a different state or authority. The arrest location on Hayner Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement in Doña Ana County. A no-bond hold generally means the individual must remain in custody until they appear before a magistrate or until the demanding jurisdiction coordinates a transfer. The charges are allegations, and Thomas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
