Las Cruces Man, 21, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Miguel Avila, a 21-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 13, 2026. Registered under booking number 2600008216, he faces a felony charge of failure to appear. Records indicate he was taken into custody at the intersection of Bataan Memorial Avenue and is currently held on a $2,500 bond. A felony failure to appear charge typically stems from a defendant missing a mandatory court proceeding related to a prior felony case. The arrest at a public intersection indicates the execution of an outstanding warrant by local law enforcement within the Doña Ana County jurisdiction. The charges are allegations, and Avila is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
