Las Cruces Man, 45, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Lesley Darnell Mulkey, a 45-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 5, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 1290 S. Valley in Las Cruces under booking number 2600007081. Mulkey faces three misdemeanor counts of failure to appear and is currently being held without bond. A failure to appear charge is typically issued by a court when a defendant does not attend a scheduled hearing or legal proceeding. These warrants authorize law enforcement to take the individual into custody to ensure their presence before a judge. The arrest location on South Valley Drive falls within the jurisdiction of local municipal and county authorities. The charges are allegations, and Mulkey is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
