Las Cruces Man, 39, Booked on Felony Warrant Following Stolen Property Investigation

Allegedly... Justin D. Ortiz, a 39-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 26, 2026. Ortiz was taken into custody at 1150 Hickory Drive in Las Cruces under booking number 2600005170. He faces a felony charge for failure to appear, with no bond currently listed in the booking record. According to news reports, the arrest followed an investigation into a stolen ATV that led authorities to a larger cache of suspected stolen items in Doña Ana County. Court and news records show Ortiz was identified in connection with the recovery of these items and faces additional allegations of receiving stolen property and resisting or obstructing an officer. The investigation remains active as authorities process the recovered property. The charges are allegations, and Ortiz is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
