Las Cruces Woman, 37, Booked on Felony Charges for Violating Release Conditions

Allegedly... Kandy Marmolejo, a 37-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Feb. 17, 2026. She faces four felony counts of failure to comply with conditions of release. Records indicate she was taken into custody at Zia Bail Bonds, with total bonds set across the various counts amounting to $2,500, including one hold without bond. According to news reports regarding the underlying case, Marmolejo was previously arrested on two counts of negligent child abuse. Court and news records show the allegations involved leaving a one-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter home alone while she went out drinking. These current charges reflect an alleged failure to adhere to the court-ordered terms established during the pendency of that case. The charges are allegations, and Marmolejo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
