Sunland Park Man, 52, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Jose Alfredo Velasquez, a 52-year-old resident of Sunland Park, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 18, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 180 Walnut Ct. in Sunland Park under booking number 2600006634. Velasquez faces a felony charge of failure to appear and is currently held on a $20,000 bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant's absence at a scheduled court proceeding or a violation of pre-trial release conditions. Because this specific booking is listed as a felony, it typically indicates the underlying case for which the court appearance was required also involved felony-level allegations. The arrest location suggests the warrant was served within the jurisdiction of the Sunland Park Police Department or the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office. The charges are allegations, and Velasquez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
