Las Cruces Man, 39, Booked on Felony Fugitive and Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... Michael Anthony Telles, a 39-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 30, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 172121 Solano in Las Cruces under booking number 2600006049. Telles faces two felony counts, including failure to appear and being a fugitive from justice. A fugitive from justice charge typically involves an individual who is wanted in another jurisdiction or has fled to avoid prosecution or confinement. The failure to appear charge indicates a prior requirement to be present for a court proceeding that was not met. Bond for the failure to appear charge has been set at $5,000, while the fugitive charge is currently held without bond. The charges are allegations, and Telles is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
