Las Cruces Woman, 22, Booked on Failure to Appear Charge in Santa Teresa

Allegedly... Leonella Vasquez Perez, a 22-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 10, 2026. She was processed under booking number 2600004765 on a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 170 Pete Domenici in Santa Teresa, which serves as a federal port of entry along the international border. The arrest location suggests the custody transfer may have occurred during a routine screening or crossing at the port of entry. A failure to appear charge is typically issued when an individual does not attend a scheduled court proceeding or fails to respond to a previous citation. At the time of her booking, no bond amount was listed in the detention records. The charges are allegations, and Vasquez Perez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
