Las Cruces Woman, 36, Booked on Felony Probation Violation and Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Melissa Trejo, a 36-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Oct. 10, 2026. She was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600008128. Records indicate she faces a felony charge for a probation violation along with a misdemeanor count of failure to appear. Trejo was apprehended at the intersection of El Paseo Road and Puianzo Drive in Las Cruces and is currently held without bond. A probation violation charge generally involves an allegation that an individual has failed to comply with the court-ordered terms of their supervision following a previous legal matter. The failure to appear charge suggests a prior scheduled court date was missed, leading to the issuance of a bench warrant for her arrest. The arrest location indicates the matter falls under local municipal or county jurisdiction. The charges are allegations, and Trejo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
