Las Cruces Woman, 26, Booked as Fugitive From Justice at South Motel

Allegedly... Laura Leanila Gutierrez, 26, of Las Cruces, was arrested on June 26, 2026, and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center. She was taken into custody at a motel on South Motel Boulevard under booking number 2600005165. Gutierrez is currently being held without bond on a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice. A fugitive from justice charge typically indicates that an individual is wanted by another jurisdiction for an outstanding warrant or pending legal matter. The booking record shows the arrest originated at a local lodging facility, where she was processed by authorities before being transported to the county jail for detention. The charges are allegations, and Gutierrez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
