Sunland Park Man, 35, Booked on Fugitive From Justice and Dwi Charges

Allegedly... Miguel Angel Hernandez, a 35-year-old resident of Sunland Park, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 26, 2026. Hernandez was taken into custody at the intersection of Alto Vista and Palo Verde in Sunland Park. He faces a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice, alongside misdemeanor counts of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and a tail lamp violation. He is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600007782. A fugitive from justice charge typically indicates that an individual is wanted by another jurisdiction for an outstanding warrant or has fled to avoid prosecution. The arrest location suggests the encounter occurred during a traffic stop within Sunland Park city limits, where the additional traffic and DWI allegations were filed. No-bond holds are often utilized in cases involving out-of-state warrants to ensure the individual remains in custody for extradition proceedings. The charges are allegations, and Hernandez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
