Las Cruces Man, 56, Booked on Multiple Failure to Appear Warrants

Allegedly... Michael Apodaca, a 56-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 29, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at the intersection of Mesquite Street and Colorado Avenue. He is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600006917. The arrest involves five separate misdemeanor counts of failure to appear. This specific charge is typically issued by a court when a defendant does not attend a scheduled hearing or fails to comply with a court order in a previous legal matter. The lack of a set bond suggests these warrants required a mandatory appearance before a judge. The charges are allegations, and Apodaca is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
