Las Cruces Man, 63, Booked on Two Counts of Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Martin Jose Lopez, a 63-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 21, 2026. Lopez was taken into custody near the intersection of Valley Drive and Myles Road. He is currently held without bond under booking number 2600005778. The charges involve two misdemeanor counts of failure to appear in court. This specific charge typically indicates that an individual did not attend a previously scheduled judicial proceeding as required by a court order or summons. The arrest location suggests the apprehension occurred within the jurisdictional limits of the local municipal or county authorities. The charges are allegations, and Lopez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
