El Paso Man, 42, Booked in Doña Ana County on New Mexico Warrant

Allegedly... Jorge Morales, a 42-year-old resident of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 11, 2026. Morales was taken into custody on South New Mexico Highway 28, approximately 640 feet east of Westside Drive. He is currently being held under booking number 2600007305 on a misdemeanor warrant issued from a jurisdiction outside of Las Cruces but within the state of New Mexico. A warrant of this nature typically signifies that another New Mexico court or law enforcement agency has requested the individual's detention for an unresolved legal matter. The arrest location on Highway 28 indicates the stop occurred within the southern portion of Doña Ana County. No bond amount was specified in the initial booking record. The charges are allegations, and Morales is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
