Las Cruces Man Faces Two Felony Counts of Firearm Possession by a Felon

Allegedly... Jose Luis Salazar, 28, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 15, 2026. He faces two felony charges of receipt and possession of a firearm by a felon, according to jail records. Salazar was arrested at 645 Compress in Las Cruces. One of the charges carries a bond of $10,000, while the second has no bond listed. The charges suggest authorities allege Salazar, who has a prior felony record, was found in possession of a firearm. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. These charges are allegations, and a booking does not imply that the individual has been convicted of any crime.
