Las Cruces Man, 58, Booked on Two Probation Violations, Felony Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Luis Manuel Valtierra, 58, of Las Cruces was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center on Feb. 12, 2026, according to jail records. He faces two felony probation violation counts tied to an arrest at First Street and Hadley Avenue, with no bond listed on either. A third count, a felony failure to appear, was logged at the detention center with bond set at $5,000. Probation violation filings in New Mexico typically trigger a revocation hearing where a judge decides whether to continue supervision or impose additional sanctions. A felony failure to appear is filed when a defendant misses a scheduled court date in a felony case. No additional news coverage related to this booking was identified in public sources. Charges are allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
