Man, 33, Booked on Felony Charge After Stop at Santa Teresa Port of Entry

Allegedly... Juan Manuel Gomez, 33, was booked into a New Mexico jail on Nov. 10, 2025, under booking number 2500009145, according to local jail records. He is listed on one felony count recorded in the log as "All Other Offenses," with the arrest location noted as the Santa Teresa Port of Entry. Bond is marked not applicable, which generally reflects a federal hold or a pending first appearance. The booking record does not include a home address. The Santa Teresa Port of Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection crossing in southern New Mexico where officers routinely refer criminal cases to federal prosecutors, including for outstanding warrants, immigration offenses, and drug smuggling. The underlying conduct is not described in the jail record, and no public news coverage, CBP release, or U.S. Attorney announcement naming Gomez had surfaced at the time of publication. The charge is an allegation. Gomez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
