Las Cruces Man, 26, Booked on Shoplifting and Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... Kyle Bryan Nichols, a 26-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 6, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 1550 S. Valley and assigned booking number 2600006260. He faces misdemeanor charges of shoplifting items valued between $100 and $500, along with a charge for failing to appear in court. The arrest location on South Valley Drive is within a commercial corridor of Las Cruces, where local law enforcement frequently manages retail-related calls. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a previous court date that was missed, resulting in a bench warrant. The current booking record does not list a specific bond amount for the shoplifting count. The charges are allegations, and Nichols is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
