Allegedly... Mark Anthony R Ogas, a 46-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 30, 2026. Records indicate Ogas was taken into custody at the intersection of Idaho Avenue and Burley Court. He faces multiple felony charges, including kidnapping, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, and conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony.

The accompanying charge of unlawful taking of a motor vehicle refers to the unauthorized possession or operation of a vehicle belonging to another individual. These allegations are being processed under the jurisdiction of the local district court following the arrest by responding officers. The charges are allegations, and Mark Anthony R Ogas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
