Las Cruces Man, 48, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear and Resisting

Allegedly... Michael Curtis Gutierrez, a 48-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 21, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 2705 Calle de Salud under booking number 2600005772. Gutierrez faces a felony charge for failure to appear along with a misdemeanor charge of resisting or obstructing, with a total bond set at $3,000. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding, while the resisting or obstructing charge typically involves allegations of interfering with a law enforcement officer's lawful duties. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where the local detention facility processes both felony and misdemeanor bookings. The charges are allegations, and Gutierrez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
