Las Cruces Man, 45, Booked on Felony Methamphetamine Possession Charge

Allegedly... Miguel A. Grijalva, a 45-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 14, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of South Espina Street and Milton Avenue. Grijalva faces a single felony charge of possession of methamphetamine and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600008253. In New Mexico, a felony possession charge involves the alleged discovery of a controlled substance by law enforcement. The arrest location near the university district falls under the jurisdiction of local municipal or county authorities, depending on the responding agency. A no-bond hold typically indicates that a judge will review the case to determine conditions of release at a later hearing. The charges are allegations, and Grijalva is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
