Phoenix Woman, 62, Booked in New Mexico for Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Josefina Montgomery, a 62-year-old resident of Phoenix, Arizona, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 13, 2026. Montgomery was taken into custody at the intersection of the Pete V. Domenici International Highway. She faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear and was assigned booking number 2600007351. Records indicate she is currently being held without bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a missed court date or a failure to respond to a legal summons issued by a judicial authority. The arrest location on the Pete V. Domenici International Highway suggests the encounter occurred near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry. This type of booking often involves an outstanding warrant discovered during a routine traffic stop or border crossing. The charges are allegations, and Montgomery is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
