Las Cruces Man, 23, Booked on Dwi, Weapons, and Multiple Failure to Appear Warrants

Allegedly... Miguel Angel Billalba, a 23-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 21, 2026. He faces several misdemeanor charges including driving under the influence of liquor or drugs, carrying a deadly weapon, and resisting or obstructing an officer. Billalba was taken into custody at 627 S. Espina St. and is currently held without bond under booking number 2600007588. The arrest record includes a significant number of failure to appear warrants alongside traffic-related allegations of careless driving and operating a vehicle without a license. A no-bond hold in New Mexico often indicates that a defendant had outstanding warrants from previous court cases or that a judge has ordered detention pending a further hearing. The charges span both petty misdemeanor and misdemeanor classifications. The charges are allegations, and Billalba is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
