Las Cruces Man, 36, Booked on Concealing Identity Charges at Nmsu Lot 38

Allegedly... Jose Daniel Esparza, 36, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 29, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at NMSU Lot 38 and assigned booking number 2600007850. Esparza faces two counts of concealing identity, both classified as petty misdemeanors, and is currently held without bond. In New Mexico, a charge of concealing identity generally involves the allegation that an individual intentionally withheld or provided false identifying information to a peace officer during the performance of their duties. The arrest location at Lot 38 suggests the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the New Mexico State University campus. The charges are allegations, and Esparza is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
