Las Cruces Man, 23, Booked on Misdemeanor Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Landan Blake Gunter, a 23-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 28, 2026. Records show he was taken into custody at mile marker 152 on Interstate 10 under booking number 2600006882. He faces a single misdemeanor charge of failure to appear, and no bond was immediately listed in the initial record. A failure to appear charge generally stems from an individual not attending a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. The arrest location on I-10 indicates the contact occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County during a traffic stop or roadside encounter. This type of warrant typically remains active until the individual is processed by the court system. The charges are allegations, and Gunter is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
