Las Cruces Man, 30, Booked on Charges of Leaving the Scene and False Reporting

Allegedly... Joshua Paul Embrey, a 30-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 2, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at the intersection of Entrada Del Sol and Triviz. Embrey faces two petty misdemeanor charges, including leaving the scene of an accident and filing a false police report, under booking number 2600007927. In New Mexico, leaving the scene of an accident generally involves a driver failing to remain at the site of a collision to fulfill legal duties such as providing identification or rendering aid. The charge of filing a false police report pertains to the intentional provision of deceptive information to law enforcement officers during an investigation. The arrest location suggests the incident occurred near a high-traffic area in east-central Las Cruces. The charges are allegations, and Embrey is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
