Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked on Felony Charge of Unlawful Vehicle Taking

Allegedly... Miguel Angel Zavala, 37, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 24, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 5580 Azteca Rd. and assigned booking number 2600005078. Zavala faces a felony charge of unlawful taking of a motor vehicle and is currently being held without bond. The arrest location is situated in a residential area of northern Las Cruces. A no-bond hold typically indicates that a judge has not yet set a financial requirement for release or that the individual is being held pending a pretrial detention hearing.

The charges are allegations, and Zavala is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
