Las Cruces Man, 49, Booked on Felony Drug Possession Charge

Allegedly... Michael Khan, a 49-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 20, 2026. The booking, recorded under number 2600006698, followed an arrest at the intersection of Mesilla and Newcomb. Khan is currently facing a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance and is being held without bond. In New Mexico, a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance involves the alleged unauthorized presence of substances defined under the state's Controlled Substances Act. The arrest location falls within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where local law enforcement processed the booking. A no-bond hold indicates that the individual is being detained pending further court proceedings or a bond hearing. The charges are allegations, and Michael Khan is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
