Las Cruces Man, 33, Booked on Two Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Joseph Antonio Vivas, a 33-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 15, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 1550 S. Valley Drive under booking number 2600006562. Vivas faces two misdemeanor charges for failure to appear and is currently being held without bond. A failure to appear charge is typically issued when an individual does not attend a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. The arrest location on South Valley Drive falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement, and the no-bond status indicates that the defendant must remain in custody until a court appearance determines further conditions of release. The charges are allegations, and Vivas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
