Las Cruces Man, 53, Booked on Two Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Jose Manuel Zubiran, 53, of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Aug. 3, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600006166. Records indicate he faces two misdemeanor counts of failure to appear following an arrest at 1865 W. Picacho Ave. Zubiran is currently being held without bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant's absence during a scheduled court proceeding or a failure to respond to a citation. The arrest location on West Picacho Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. The no-bond status indicates that the court has ordered the individual to remain in custody until a judge reviews the case or a new hearing is scheduled. The charges are allegations, and Jose Manuel Zubiran is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
