Las Cruces Man, 39, Booked on Stolen-Firearm, Felon-in-Possession Counts

Allegedly... Jorge Gonzalez, 39, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on the morning of Jan. 27, 2026, on five felony counts tied to an arrest at 1700 W. Hadley Avenue. The charges listed on his intake sheet are two counts of receipt or possession of a firearm by a felon, one count of receiving a stolen firearm valued at less than $2,500, a parole violation, and a probation violation, according to jail records. No bond is set on any count. Under New Mexico law, a person previously convicted of a felony can face additional prison exposure for having a firearm, and those cases are sometimes adopted by federal prosecutors under 18 U.S.C. 922(g). The no-bond holds on the parole and probation counts typically remain in place until a hearing before the supervising judge. No news reports or federal filings could be matched to Gonzalez based on the information in the booking record. These are allegations at this stage. Gonzalez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
