Las Cruces Man, 36, Booked Into Doña Ana County on Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Jorge Ponce, 36, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 11, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 2860 W. Picacho in Las Cruces and assigned booking number 2600004793. Ponce is currently held on a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear. The booking record shows a no-bond status for this charge. A failure to appear typically indicates that an individual did not attend a previously scheduled court proceeding, prompting a judge to issue a bench warrant for their arrest. This classification is often used to ensure the defendant's presence at future hearings. The charges are allegations, and Ponce is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
